Hello,
I am not subscribed to: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" list.
Please reply directly if you are answering from that list.
Where can I get info on Dual Booting WindowsNT and FreeBSD using
the NT Boot manager. I got some info from FreeBSDDiary and some
info about booting Linux dual with NT but I cannot figure out how to
translate the info to work with FreeBSD.
I have a single 9Gb SCSI drive with three partitions:
2+Gb NTFS (C: Drive)
3Gb NTFS (D: Drive)
3+Gb FreeBSD
I have recorded the MBR for NT and for FreeBSD in two files located
on the C: drive. If I copy the FreeBSD mbr-file to the MBR, FreeBSD
will boot fine. If I copy WinNT mbr-file to the MBR, WinNT boot loader
will startup fine. I added in the suggested line pointing to the
FreeBSD mbr-file on the C: drive but when I tell NT to load it, NT fails
but it looks like it was trying to load NT.
Is my problem because my C: drive is NTFS??? If so, Is there any
way around this?
Thanks in Advance!!! Especially the people on the WashDC list. You
All are a GREAT help!!
