Would A boot manager work. : Thanks : Jason First, boot from a DOS-Disk and use fdisk to make a DOS-Partition, which is smaller than the entire Hard-Disk (leave some space for later install of FreeBSD). If you dont assign the rest to a 2nd partition, FreeBSD detects this free space and assigns it automatically to his own partition, otherwise: doit yourself with the FreeBSD-bootdisk. 1. On the free DOS-Partition you can install Win95 2. AFTER this, install FreeBSD Some bootselectors are on CD, for instance bteasy or OS-BS. they will be applied during installation. Lars.
