It looked really interesting. Do you dual boot? Yes. I dual-boot FreeBSD and MS-DOS (for games on the road.. Doom2 ;D) # Will it run from a logical drive or a non primary partition? I suspect not.. it needs its own (primary?) partition, afaik. # For instance can I install it on the d drive then use boot manager # from OS/2 or LILO boot loader from Linux to start it? I have a feeling you could use LILO, but I have no experience with the OS/2 boot manager.. There is probably some documentation on this, even (LILO booting FreeBSD); but I tend to use the boot manager that comes with FreeBSD.. named "Booteasy" I think. It simply displays a list of bootable OS' on the drive (or, if there is another drive, allows you to select that, and if that drive has booteasy on it, it'll give the menu again for it); allowing you to press F1, F2, etc, to boot the corresponding OS. Very nice.. I have struggled before, with getting the partitions into a usable state for a dual-boot setup; and I recommend you make backups of everything you need to keep.. just as a precaution.
