It has 3 or so logical drives, in which Linux resides. Now, I have two problems: First, I can't get BootEasy to give me a option to boot into Linux. I can use LILO from Linux to do this job; but is there any way to do it using booteasy. Secondly, I want to access my linux partitions from FreeBSD. How do I go abt doing it ? DO I need to make a disklabel, or is there some other way of doing it ? (Any references or links etc would also be most useful.) Thanks in advance. BTW, I seem to have some problem getting the mails sent to this mailing list; so anybody who replies, please send a copy to "rakhesh@cse.iitd.ac.in". Thanks!
