Hi,

I have got a PC with 2 HDs.

On the first PC I already have NT installed. The second HD is a removable
HD on which I am installing FreeBSD.

I want to leave the MBR of the first HD untouched, this way NT would
always boot first.

In order to start FreeBSD I was wondering if it was it possible to have
a floppy with a MBR which would boot FreeBSD on the second HD. I
remember I did this once with LILO/Linux.

As I boot the PC with this floppy I would always start FreeBSD...

Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks
Emmanuel
