Hi,
I'm planning on installing the following operating systems on my new
computer with a 2.1gig hard drive:
OS/2 Warp - Main operating system
FreeBSD v2.1R
Windows 3.1 - small partition used only for those Win programs that
won't run under Win-OS/2
What boot manager should I be using for this? OS/2's Boot Manager,
or the FreeBSD Boot Manager?
I need to be able to boot all three operating systems.
Also, since I'm planning on formatting the OS/2 partition in HPFS,
(High Performance File System), is there a way to get OS/2 to read
and write to the FreeBSD partition, and on the other hand, is there
a way to get FreeBSD to read and write to the HPFS partition?
Also, I understand that I should partition the HD with the Boot
Manager first, Windows second, and then either FreeBSD or OS/2.
Sound right?
Thanks,
--
