Date: 29 Dec 1995 15:42:05 GMT Organization: Allen-Bradley Co. Lines: 16 Distribution: inet Message-ID: <4c128e$5hh@news1.cle.ab.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: alder.cle.ab.com X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.92.2 I want to evaluate FreeBSD on a system currently configured for OS/2 Dual Boot. Since this is a temporary installation, I'd prefer not to have to reconfigure the system for use with the OS/2 Boot Manager (lotsa work). Will the FreeBSD boot manager work under these conditions? In other words, if I choose the DOS-OS/2 option from the FreeBSD boot manager menu, I'd expect to get whichever OS is selected from the OS/2 Dual Boot configuration. I checked the FreeBSD FAQ, Handbook, and archives, and couldn't find any reference to this. Any reason why this won't work? Thanks for any help. Bruce Halco
