I have a couple of questions first though! 1: I want to set the drive up to be the first 300Mb for DOS and the last 200Mb for BSD. Will this be a problem? If not, I assume that there is some sort of DOS boot manager to select which system to boot into! 2: The 486 has only 8mb ram, will this still run at a reasonable speed? That's really about it.... Any help anyone could give would be really appreciated. Thanks Dean Harry
