Hi, I will be getting enough money to set up a lab of Machines. I want to be able to run OS2 DOS and FreeBSD My understanding was that in previous versions of FreeBSD (possibly a generic problem with the PC archictecture) that very ladge disks containing multiple operating systems was a problem. I believe the problem stemmed from the root/boot partition needing to be below 1024 so BIOS can boot the kernel from it. Am I correct ? I believe FreeBSD 2.? was supposed to add support for something (sorry cannot remember what exactly) that would allow easier support for this type of setup... Am I making sense ? thank you David
