I need to run MS-DOS, Windows NT and FreeBSD on one 4G SCSI drive.
What is the easiest way to get FreeBSD and Windows NT to co-exist?  I
installed FreeBSD after Windows NT and even though I selected to leave
the boot record intact, FreeBSD ate it up and I could no longer run
NT.  Luckily I made a backup.

When I load one of the operating systems I'm there for a few hours so
I don't really need a quick way to go from one OS to another.  I just
need a way that is simple with little risk of problems.

TIA
