If it was > not possible to boot with a DOS utility then I would prefer booting from a floppy. You also have SCO installed? Then you have some boot manager installed? I gave away my last copy of SCO about 6 years ago. :) If you only want to choose between DOS and FreeBSD, the Boot Easy boot manager that comes with FreeBSD will work just fine. Boot Easy will also work with a Linux partition that has LILO installed... but I cannot says about SCO. The readme in tools/srcs/bteasy says it cannot boot xenix. There is a dos example on the cdrom itself. Look at install.bat. > - In the post configuration I tried to set the german keyboard and the > system crashed. Crashed?!? Ouch. Hopefully someone else has an answer the crash part. Try man kbdcontrol And look at /etc/sysconfig. > - I tried to make xfree configuration but no dialog box was started. > Does it mean that it has not been installed ? I don't know. Is anything in /usr/X11R6? If so, run xf86config.
