Thanks for all the comments but I must not be doing something right! Here's outline of the install process. 1. Partition a single 40GB harddrive using FDISK and make the FreeBSD partition Active 2. Set the second partition as DOS fat ->> install Win2K in the Dos partition ->> then doing the install I think it formats the DOS partition to fat32 and overwrites the MBR for FreeBSD 3. The Win2K come up without giving a choice of OS to boot into ->> copy boot0 from the FreeBSD disk onto the Win2K C:\bootFBSD and modify the B boot.ini file ->> I reboot and there is recgnized OS to be found and I have followed these step after that FreeBSD offers a simple boot manager that is placed in the first sector of your hard disk. It is called boot0. You can install easily: - boot FreeBSD - allow to write the first sector: sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 - install the boot manager boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0 - reboot Now I am still unable to choose between the operating systems. You can also boot from the FreeBSD CD (disc1) and choose "Fixit" -> "CD/CDROM". In this case you can skip the second step. I not getting something right even with book in hand. Thanks
