Essentially install FreeBSD, dd a snapshot of the boot/partition sector into a file that then gets moved into the DOS partition and is referenced by the menu selection lines at startup. Can mix with Linux (LILO) and I suppose now OpenBSD and I believe across drives. Both MS and fbsd sites have tech articles with step-by-step. -----Original Message----- From: Luigi Rizzo To: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wednesday, September 23, 1998 2:52 PM Subject: Booting from NT ? >Is there a way to boot a FreeBSD kernel from NT ?
