I know this subject has been before this list many times, but this situation is one that i can't find that has been covered in previous posts. I want to point out that references on freebsd.org to the multi-os page are broken. The following are the specs on this box; Build/Test box with 2 vers. of FBSD and win2000 spanning accross IDE and SCSI devices. What i would like to do is; segment off the IDE drive into 3 sections and use the SCSI drive for win2000. 1. FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE 2. FreeBSD 3.5.1-RELEASE 3. Shared swap I had gotten to the point of all the OSs installed according to the above layout, but was unable to find a bootloader to manage all the operating system spannned accross the 2 drives. In searching for a boot manager i found a couple that required a primary fat partition as the boot device. So i formated the IDE drive included a 50M FAT32 partition and left the free space for the 2 FBSD environments. As i write this email i'm waiting on the formatting... my question to you is 'Is there a better way of going about this then what i am doing?'. I am prepared to wipeout, reinstall anything upon any intellegent suugestion from this list. Thanks in advance for your help.
