I want to dual boot XP and Red Hat Linux. Unfortunately it seems not has easy has dual booting 2000 and Freebsd. I followed some guidelines but it does not work. I have 2 NTFS partitions and about 14 gb of free space. I start installing RH and use the auto-partioner to create the necessary partitions in the free space. When I come to the boot manager section I tried the following: - Use grub and write to the MBR. Result: Windows does not boot. - Use grub and write to the first sector of the linux boot partition. Result: Boots straight into XP Any ideas? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
