Yes, although there are some problems to be careful of here: - all of these filesystems must be within the first 1024 cylinders of the disk in order to be bootable. - the win98 installation may not get along well with the win95 installation (c:\windows != $WINDOWS) > Furthermore, could FreeBSD installed to logical > drive?? Seems it just can find the extened drive and > could not detect the logical drive... No, FreeBSD can't (currently) be booted from a logical drive. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
