Dear all, I was wondering if the 4 primary parition booting limit still exists. Is it possible to have Windoze Linux FreeBSD OpenBSD NetBSD on the same box in such a way that we can boot into any of them? I am particularly interested in the x86 arch with IDE disks. I think this is possible on other archs with SCSI. What boot manager am I supposed to use? Does it require setting something on the BIOS? Does FreeBSD support booting from a point way off the first sector? Thanks. regards, Girish __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
