I can with this setup choose from the NTLDR boot menun which OS I want to start (but this setup is good only with both OS's on the same disk). I assume that if you have two disks, you can have a similar config with boot0 instead of boot1 from my setup. (install also boot0 on the MBR of the second disk) TfH Doug White wrote: > > On Fri, 6 Aug 1999, Glenn-1, Jason wrote: > > > I have NT and FreeBSD installed on two separate hard drives.
