Hello list. I wish to put FreeBSD 5.3 on a new hard drive and have it dual boot with the existing Windows XP system (separate HD). Can I just simply go through the FreeBSD install and have it install the FreeBSD boot manager/loader on the XP drive? I can't risk doing any damage to the XP system as it has a thermal analyzer program on it that won't run on FreeBSD (otherwise I would have no use for XP at all). I would like to know if there are any "gotchas" or anything that could be a problem. I would really like to hear comments from anyone who has set up such a system. =20 Thanks in advance, =20 Tom =20
