// Hi!  I'd like to know if it's possable to have freebsd coexist with Dos,
// on one partition.  I know with Linux, it defaults to useing a boot disk
// which makes this _very_ easy.  Will freebsd do the same, or can it be
// told to boot only off a boot disk?

As far as I know, easier than Linux...  :)

The MBR load a program (BootEasy) to select which partition to
boot from.
