If you do have the installations in two seperate slices on the one disk, you should be able to use a boot selector to boot which ever slice you want. I don't know if this will work with booteasy the boot manager that comes with FreeBSD by default, but there is a nice boot manager called OS Select (tools/os-bs.exe in the FreeBSD distribution I think).. (the setup program is an MSDOS exe) It allows you to create a menu of OS's to boot from by selecting the relevant slices from the list it shows. It also allows you to set a default slice to boot aswell as a timeout counter. Whether it will work or not in your situation remains to be seen.. :) Regards, - Cillian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
