MS-Win should optimally be installed on the first primary partition. This is called 'slice 1' by FreeBSD. Then FreeBSD should be installed on slice 2. If the slices are not to your liking, then you may need to use some utility such as Parition Magic 7 (I had trouble with PM-8) or gparted to define the primary partitions/slices before you do any of the installs. But, still, MS-Win should be installed first and go in the first slice and FreeBSD later in another slice. That is because MS-Win doesn't play very well if installed later and/or in a different slice. When you install FreeBSD (after the MS-Win install) select installing the FreeBSD MBR (not none or default minimum). It should be smart enough to find both. I have heard some complaints about MS-Vista and having to do some other monkeying around to get an MBR to handle it correctly, but I don't know details and I do not (lucky me) have any Vista machines to joust with. ////jerry > > 2009/11/11 Jerry McAllister > > > On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 11:02:35AM -0600, Jesús Abidan wrote: > > > > > Hi there, i have a problem here, i installed windows in mi box and i left > > a > > > partition for freebsd, i finished install of freebsd and installed the > > boot > > > mgr of freebsd but when i reboot only windows boots with f1 pressed? how > > can > > > I make the system boots both? > > > > Not sure all of what you see, but if you literally mean that when > > you press F1 it always boots MS-Win, that is probably correct. > > You will have to press F2 or maybe F3 (depending in which slice you > > installed FreeBSD) to boot FreeBSD. > > > > I suspect you mean something a little different, but if so, > > please elaborate. > > > > ////jerry > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > > > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > > > To unsubscribe, send any mail to " > > freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > >
