IBM's OS/2 is the only system I know of with a dual boot capability. You can, however; use the boot manager that comes with FreeBSD (booteasy) and during startup you can have your choice of which Operating system you wish to load. Go to www.freebsd.org and read the handbook for more info.

I am looking for a Unix OS that can cohabitate my system with MSDOS/WIN95. I want to be able to utilize dos, windows, and unix programs at different times and have been searching for quite some time for a suitable OS. Thanks, Gary
