Be really careful. The windows boot loader should be able to boot a freebsd install for you. Dell usually ship their machines with a small partition at the front of the drive (at least, they did last time I received one). That partition is at an odd offset and didn't agree with the FBSD partition editor: I found this out the hard way. Things may have changed since then; I usually nuke the dell partition anyway. jan PS. I should say that my bad experience with the partition editor is a few years old; I've not tried again recently with new Dell kit. -- jan grant, ISYS, University of Bristol. http://www.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44 (0)117 3317661 http://ioctl.org/jan/ Axioms speak louder than words. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
