I need to get FreeBSD 2.0 and Windows NT to reside together on a
machine. The FreeBSD installation is going to be a minimal one (it
will have X tho) since its meant for people to get an idea of what
FreeBSD feels like. I have a few questions regarding this setup:

1> What boot manager should I use? FreeBSD is getting approximately
150 MB out of a 1 Gig disk. Should I install FreeBSD first or NT? 

2> What is the minimum space that I need to get FreeBSD up? How much
swap space do I have to have [machine has 32 M RAM]. 

3> Anyone have NT + FreeBSD sharing a machine? any problems getting
them to share the machine?
