Dear first time install,
My pc originally had a 130 meg HD. This I originally had 1/2 DOS
and 1/2 partition Linux. This boots from a master boot record.(LILO).
We just added a 1/2 gig 2nd disc that is slave to the 1st. This 2nd
disk is partitioned 1/2 dos and 1/2 FreeBSD. I installed and
configured BSD with a boot partition.
I then made and additional entry in the LILO (etc/lilo.conf on Linux)
master boot record which points to the BSD partition on the 2nd
drive (dev/hdb2 -( hdb1 for dos)) . Voila I now have 3 op systems
on my machine !
Hope this helps..
G.W
