You save the boot sector from your BSD partition into a bootsect.xxx file on the partition containing NT's boot loader, and add an entry into its boot.ini file to create a boot menu entry for it. For info see: http://www.devious/com/freebsd/ The above site also explains how to change FreeBSD's boot sector if it is not on the first drive. >2. Please point me in the direction of configing BSD to see my NEC scsi >rom for install (on a 2940UW) It will "just work" when you boot using the FreeBSD boot floppy. If you only have the CD, create the boot floppy by booting into DOS and running makeflp.bat in the root directory of the CD. -- John Stark (at home), Cambridge, UK | mailto:jas@slugvine.demon.co.uk Tel.
