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.

Thanks,
