I actually used the FreeBSD `fdisk' to cut my 4.3gb disk in half, installed Solaris 2.6 on the second half, then installed FreeBSD 3.0 on the first half. Since both OS's like to install a boot manager... I installed `booteasy' attempting to overwrite the Solaris boot manager, but it seems (i could be wrong) that the Solaris boot manager resides within the Solaris partition!@#$ because after booteasy decides that I want to boot from `Linux swap' (i.e. Solaris 2.6) I am suddenly transported into the Solaris boot manager... anyway... the short story is that the two OS's coexist quite nicely, however cannot read each others filesystems...
