fsrfo>> Hello everyone:
fsrfo>> This might sound rather foolish, but I need some assistance on how to
fsrfo>> dual boot FBSD 5.3 with WinXP.
fsrfo>> I have to Hard Drives, Windows is in the first drive, and I want to
fsrfo>> install FBSD on the second. No in the installation process I choose to
fsrfo>> create the partitions to the second Hard Drive, then it ask me if I want
fsrfo>> to install the boot manager, to which I answer yes, then it ask me where
fsrfo>> to install it, and I choose to the First Hard drive, is that ok? well,
fsrfo>> what happens is that after I choose the installer send me to disklabel
fsrfo>> to slice the Hard drive, but it show the First hard drive.
fsrfo>> am I making any sense at all? I thought that
fsrfo>> installing the boot manager
fsrfo>> was going to be a straigh forward process, is there anything wrong with
fsrfo>> what I am experiencing? Any help will be appreciated.
fsrfo>> Good night everyone
