With above configuration, can I install FREEBSD. I have a similar configuration. Mine was two SCSI 1 gig disks. The first was all Win 95 (still the beta June release; I can't bring myself to pay for it). The second disk was all FreeBSD. Then I split the Win95 and installed Windows NT. I noticed that it's dual boot program installed its self on the first partitions boot point. So my existing boot manager (OSBS) would ask for FreeBSD or Win95 and then I would get a secondary boot menu (when I go to Win95) asking for NT or Win95. The problem I have is that I cant get rid of that stupid secondary menu even though I reclaimed the NT partition. Fdisk /MBR doesn't hack it. Any ideas? So, in short, yes it will work. >3. If am doing something wrong, How do I make FREEBSD co-exist with > NT Loader and add it as one of menu option for NT boot manager? I wouldn't trust that NT loader. Good luck.
