From: "MANI" <mm.m...@gmail.com> Subject: Multiboot OpenBSD with Vista First of all you need to know I am running OpenBSD on my laptop and PC at home happily as sole OS, but unfortunately I need to dual boot my PC at Office because of some proprietary softwares we need at company, the other OS is Microsucks Windows Vista
The easiest solution by far is to install Vista first but leave space on the hard disk. Run the OpenBSD install and adjust the partition values so that OpenBSD is using the space instead of 'all the disk'. Once installed, use bcdedit to add an entry for OpenBSD pointing at the partition.
It 'just works'. Personally I don't even dislike Vista that much, provided it's given plenty (32 bit : 2GB, 64 bit : 4GB) of RAM. I favour 64bit, even if the driver support is less comprehensive and the memory requirements are higher.
