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.


Matt
