No, there's no problem doing this with Windows (at least with Windows-ME) -- I have Win-ME on my laptop (so I can say "it works under Windows" when something is broken) with two FreeBSD partitions: 4.3-R (which works) and -CURRENT (in which PCMCIA is completely broken). But booting any of the 3 OSes works fine. Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
