Ok I'm stuck...
I'm trying to get Windows XP and FreeBSD 4.10 to dual boot.
I'm installing onto a 40GB HD:
30GB - WinXP
10GB - BSD
So I installed XP, and then FreeBSD, with the Boot Manager.
Rebooted and I get the FreeBSD boot manager. When I hit F2, FreeBSD loads without problems. However when I hit F1, the computer just beeps at me.
So I installed GRUB from the ports 0.94. I was able to manually boot BSD with GRUB, but I could not figure out how to get XP to boot, it didn't recognize the partition which XP was installed when I would do a "root (hd0,0)".
I've search for a few hours now, trying to figure this out. But I'm stumped.
Would this be easier with two Hard Drives?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Andrew
