i have a computer with 3 OS's on it: win98 on ad0s1, freebsd 4.7 on ad0s3 and linux on ad2s2. ad2 is too big to be handled correctly by the bios, so there is a disk manager installed to the master boot record of ad0. i boot linux via windows' config.sys and loadlin.exe without problems. i tried to do the same with fbsdboot.exe with freebsd, but that doesnt seem to work, so i now use a floppy with the uniload boot loader from http://www.simon.org.ua/uniload/ to boot freebsd. each time freebsd has run, the freebsd slice ad0s3 is set active, but freebsd won't boot from it: Error loading OS. 1. can i change that so that the freebsd slice is fully bootable? maybe by installing grub to that slice? i would prefer that solution since i could then use grub also to be able to boot the other OS's. 2. is there a way to boot freebsd from DOS, how exactly would i use fbsdboot.exe? regards, wolfgang To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
