Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 02:53:30 GMT Lines: 24 Hi, May be this is a FAQ, but I certainly do not know where the FAQ is. I try to configure a 386/486 with IDE drive for: MSDOS, Window 3.1, OS/2, BSD386. The problem is 386/486 only boot off C disk. But looking at things, BSD386 seems to have a different file system than MSDOS (true?) Does that implies I have to at least have 2 disk partitions, one for BSD386 & 1 for the rest (MSDOS, Windows3.1, OS/2), & FDISK to activate whichever partition? Or have 2 hard disks, one for Unix, one for the rest, but than what happens to the boot off only C drive restriction Or is some micro has boot drive configurable from CMOS? Or is there another solution to this? Thanks for any INFO!!!!! +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Peter C.
