Hi all..
I want to install FreeBSD on my machine. Currently, I have NT wrks 4.0 (
NTFS ) on 1st HD and a half of 2nd. Is it possible FreeBSD on the rest of
the 2nd HD?
I remember that I tried to install FreeBSD once, and BSD did change the MBR
for booting ( w/ win3.1). I guess NT will not allow this ( I hope I'm wrong
). So~. Is there a good way to install BSD without pain? ( such as reformat
HD or change nt file system type...) 

Thanks in advance..
