Sort of related to the questions about sharing a filesystem between freebsd and linux. I'm about to do the same thing, have a machine that dual boots but I want to run a personal web server and have it sharing out the same content no matter which OS is running. And this is just a personal machine, I have no experience with NFS nor do I have any machines doing NFS mounts. From what I've been reading I'll go with ext2 on the shared filesystem. Now to my question. It's been suggested that I let booteasy (that is the freebsd bootloader right?) do the juggling instead of something like lilo or grub. Is that right? What are the reasons for this? Does lilo have problems booting FreeBSD? Any information would be appreciated.
