NTLDR works well with FreeBSD multiple-boot but you will have to boot it in a DOS partition that can also be shared with DOS and Win95/98. Essentially install FreeBSD, dd a snapshot of the boot/partition sector into a file that then gets moved into the DOS partition and is referenced by the menu selection lines at startup. Can mix with Linux (LILO) and I suppose now OpenBSD and I believe across drives. Both MS and fbsd sites have tech articles with step-by-step. -----Original Message----- From: Luigi Rizzo <luigi@labinfo.iet.unipi.it> To: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG <hackers@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Wednesday, September 23, 1998 2:52 PM Subject: Booting from NT ? >Is there a way to boot a FreeBSD kernel from NT ?
