Give a two disk system with eide master containing w95 installed and eide slave w lba.
( the lba geometry is reported by win95cd:\tools\pfdisk as 973/64/63). It is on the slave ide where I want  to install FreeBSD.  What are the responses that should be made to partition editor and label editor : As I currently understand the partition process a fdisk primary partition can be identified as a native FreeBSD,  which the partition editor will subdivide into slices. This could be done by entering 'c' and then 'auto' to the partition editor. 1). should this partition be made bootable in the boot record for wd1 - of is t irrelevant? 2) what input should follow to allow 'boot easy'' to make the selection of which operating system to load. and 3) what procedure should be followed to make yet another op. sys. bootable through the use of 'boot easy'
