Hello Olivier, >Should I install FreeBSD 4.5 on my slave drive, then not touch on my >MBR >and finally configure lilo to make it boot FreeBSD form te slave >drive? This is what I would do. Installing Free to the MBR will wipe both WinXP and lilo from the map (which I did a couple of times when I first tried Linux) and unless you happen to *like* installing both your other OS products again... >What kind of boot manager should I install (BootMgr, standard, none) ? Use Lilo if you are used to it, and simply configure it after installing FreeBSD. It can handle all three perfectly fine. >Secondly, is the msdos format in fstab compatible with vfat and vfat32? Good question, because I always use my Win98 boot disk to do my formatting (FAT32). I don't know if I can help you with this one.
