I want to configure a multiOS test box, with Windows 2000 Professional, FreeBSD and Linux on it, enabling choice of OS at boot time. The machine in cuestion is a PII, 300 Mhz, 128 Mb RAM, 1st HD 13 Gb, 2nd HD 4 Gb. Currently, I've managed to support this situation with removable cases for the HDs, having Win2K+Linux on the 1st HD and FreeBSD on the 2nd HD. But I want to choose OS at boot time, without the need to power off the machine and swap the drives, I'm very lazy :-) My plan is to put the 13 Gb HD as master, and the 4 Gb HD as slave. The ideal scenario could be put the 2 HDs y through some trick configure a bootloader for booting the 3 OSs without any reformatting nor OS reinstalling. Anyway, I don't have any problem on make backups of 3 OS, and making a install from scratch to put at work as i want. I've searched the net and founded some HOWTOs, but they seems to be insufficient or outdated If somebody in the list have made something similar, please, share with me your experiences or point me in the rigth direction. Apologies for my poor English Thanks in advance Pablo _________________________________________________________ żLo probaste?
