FreeBSD doesn't "coexist" with DOS any more than Linux does. None
of my 486's here have a DOS partition on them. In fact, none of them
have even a boot manager installed. The first that comes up is the
FreeBSD kernel boot prompt.
FreeBSD doesn't have a working ext2fs filesystem yet, and Linux
doesn't have a ufs one, but I believe both are in the works, so
eventually each will be able to mount the other's native filesystem.
