Depends on which interface you prefer. If you like booteasy (FreeBSD's F1.. F2.. menu), move lilo into the bootblock of your Linux partition. bnooteasy will boot a Linux partition without any modifications. If you like lilo, then configure it to boot the FreeBSD partition just like a DOS partition. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
