I use LILO all the time to boot my FreeBSD. Just make a lilo.conf in Linux that has your boot slice as one of its targets/stanzas, same as you would for (for example) MS-DOS. Also make sure you do *not* update the MBR or such during FreeBSD's install. This brings me to a question though: Is there a boot-manager for *BSD that does *not* update the MBR? For example, I want a "default" boot that does *not* "remember" the "last OS booted" (& therefore does not update either the MBR or other similar/related structures, unless I tell it to :). >Thanks in advance for your answers. >Flupke -kc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
