My computer has the following partition scheme. Disk 0: (80 gig) 40MB Dell Utility Partition (fat) 48GB Windows XP Pro (NTFS) (remaining) FreeBSD 5.3 Release Disk 1: (40 gig) Full disk allocated to an NTFS volume for file storage I am using system commander 8.1 as a boot loader which is installed in the windows NTFS volume I would like to accomplish two things. First, I want to delete the dell partition and merge it into the windows partition. Are there any hurdles with freebsd in doing this? Do i need to change any boot config options for freebsd to find itself if I do this? Second, I'd like to install a second freebsd installation for development and testing purposes on the second hard drive (disk1). Most likely i'll install 5.3 and upgrade to 6-Current. Are there any issues I should be aware of in booting off a second disk or with two copies of freebsd on the same system? I know its possible to do it, just want to check on surprises first! Thanks in advance! Lucas Holt Luke@FoolishGames.com ________________________________________________________ FoolishGames.com (Jewel Fan Site) JustJournal.com (Free blogging)
