thanks guys for your useful reply. thanks Polytropon for your complete answer. it helps me a lot. just i don't know how use boot manager yet. i create gpt partitions and install 2 freebsd 9.2 on them (ada0p2 is / for the first OS and ada0p6 is / for the second one) but after restart, none of them boot. should i copy pmbr and gptboot by "gpart bootcode" command on ada0? (although i do it and nothing change) if not, where is boot manager and how should i use it? i think something should be done about boot partition (ada0p1), don't it? please help me to boot my 2 OS correctly. thanks in advance SAM On Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 2:21 PM, Erich Dollansky <erich@alogt.com> wrote: > Hi, > > On Sun, 17 Nov 2013 13:51:07 +0330 > s m <sam.gh1986@gmail.com> wrote: > > > hello every one > > > > for some reason, i want to install two freebsd9.2 OS on one SSD. is it > > possible?? i have problem in partitioning my disk for two OS. you know > > there is just one ada0 which can be partitioned. > > if i define more partitions on ada0, can i use some of them for the > > first OS and the others for second one? if yes, how can i manage > > booting? how and where should i install boot manager in order to > > manage them in booting time?? > > > > any comments or hints are appreciated > > it should be possible.
