I was wondering whether someone could shed some light on this for me: I've installed FreeBSD 4.3, Debian Linux 2.2r2 and windows 98 on my laptop. Everything is fine except that after using FreeBSD if I try to go into windows, the system locks up. If I turn the power off and back on after attempting to boot windows once, it works fine. I realize several things:
1) The 4 gigs occupied by windows would make a dandy filesystem for BSD
(but I need windows for work).
2) The computer may be recoiling at the prospect of going from an OS
which is a Good Thing to one that is the quintissential Bad Thing.
3) It isn't FreeBSD's job to make M$ products work.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Mark Van Tuyl
