Message-ID: <rpj.792903227@maroon.tc.umn.edu> Sender: news@news.cis.umn.edu (Usenet News Administration) Nntp-Posting-Host: maroon.tc.umn.edu Organization: University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Date: Thu, 16 Feb 1995 02:53:47 GMT Lines: 12 Sorry if this posted in the FAQ, but I didn't see it in my skimming of it. But anyways, I am interested in FreeBSD but currently on my 1st hard drive I have SCO XENIX and SCO UNIX. I still have a need for them. Can't I install FreeBSD on a 2nd or 3rd hard drive and be able to boot it up? My guess is I boot the SCO and select the fdisk to change the active partiion to FreeBSD and then reboot? Errr wait. I don't think that will work. Help. Roger
