Hello, Has anybody setup a dual boot system with DragonFlyBSD and WinXP?
I have 3 primary partitions on my WinXP laptop; I installed DragonFlyBSD on the third partition that is beyond 60G. I skipped the step to install the boot blocks, since I want to use NTloader to boot DragonFly. Later, I copied /boot/boot1 to c:\bootsect.dfly and added the following entry to c:\boot.ini. C:\bootsect.dfly="DragonFly" FWIW, this method worked fine with FreeBSD-current. However, upon trying to boot DragonFly from NT loader, the screen goes blank for a few seconds, and then, the system reboots. Upon googling, I found the following mail in the dragonflybsd-user archive: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/dragonflybsd-user/2004/12/31/135686 I haven't come across mail/FAQ/webpage which confirms that the method described above works for DragonFlyBSD.
