Here's outline of the install process= =2E 1=2E Partition a single 40GB harddrive using FDISK and make the FreeBSD partition Activ= e 2=2E 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 FreeBS= D 3=2E 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=2Eini file ->> I reboot and there is recgnized OS to be foun= d and I have followed these step after that FreeBSD offers a simple boot manager that is placed in the first sector=20 of your hard disk=2E It is called boot0=2E You can install easily: - boot FreeBSD - allow to write the first sector: sysctl kern=2Egeom=2Edebugflags=3D16 - install the boot manager boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0 - reboot Now I am still unable to choose between the operating systems=2E You can also boot from the FreeBSD CD (disc1) and choose "Fixit" ->=20 "CD/CDROM"=2E In this case you can skip the second step=2E I not getting something right even with book in hand=2E Thanks=20
