   Anybody out there ever try to get NT and FreeBSD to cooexist on the
   same machine?  Looking for some reccommendations on how to handle the
   boot manager: use NT's or FreeBSDs?  (NT was on the machine first, and
   it's boot manager is presently installed in the boot partition.)

I haven't looked at it lately, but about 6 months ago I found this
web page a very useful reference. I used its information to get
DOS/Win 3.1, NT, Win95 and FreeBSD to all coexist on 2 SCSI disks
in a Pentium-90 system.
