Hello list. I wish to put FreeBSD 5.3 on a new hard drive and have it dual boot with the existing Windows XP system (separate HD). Can I just simply go through the FreeBSD install and have it install the FreeBSD boot manager/loader on the XP drive? I can't risk doing any damage to the XP system as it has a thermal analyzer program on it that won't run on FreeBSD (otherwise I would have no use for XP at all). I would like to know if there are any "gotchas" or anything that could be a problem. I would really like to hear comments from anyone who has set up such a system.
You can use the FreeBSD bootloader to boot both OSs (I believe you must install it on both drives). Another nice (and easy) free bootloader/manager that I use to boot Win2K, FreeBSD, DragonFly and the occasional Linux is GAG - <URL: http://gag.sourceforge.net/>.
This thermal analyzer program has no counterpart/substitute in FreeBSD?
