Please send me info on how to install : FreeBSD and keep my system settings. simply install FreeBSD on this partition and let freebsd write a bootmanager, if it ask for them. If you dont have a free partition, use fips from your FreeBSD-cdrom to split some free space into a new partition. During the installation, simply delete this new partition and create one for freebsd with this new free space. Lars.
