Yes, it works perfect. I did the original partitioning of my disk with OS/2 and left a part of the disk unused. After installing FreeBSD I used OS/2's fdisk to include this partition into the bootmanager's list, mark it bootable (and set it as default choice :-) ). Bye, Philipp P.S. The FreeBSD-Installation asks you (after the partitioning, I think), whether you want to have a bootmanager. You have to choose "don't touch it" here. -- P.
