The bridge mode works fine in my Windows XP setup. Nothing special to configure, just need to go to network connections and create a new connection, using username and password.

Re: FreeBSD9 - Fresh install (2)
Thanks for this very informative suggestion. I think I need to study it thouroughly, but will certainly head for that solution. kind regards, Jos Chrispijn Polytropon: That would work, and could be performed easily even using the slice editor of the sysinstall program. Of course, make sure that all partition references work properly for _each_ slice. Using labels is a comfortable way to achieve this. But it would be no problem to use the device names (as long as the disk won't be moved). For example: Slice 1: Installation OS 8.2 - boots to /dev/ad0s1a (kernel is in ad0s1a:/boot/kernel) - performs root mount of /dev/ad0s1a - mounts OS partitions /dev/ad0s1[defg] - mounts data partition /dev/ad0s3 Slice 2: Installation OS 9.0 - boots to /dev/ad0s2a (kernel is in ad0s2a:/boot/kernel) - performs root mount of /dev/ad0s2a - mounts OS partitions /dev/ad0s2[defg] - mounts data partition /dev/ad0s3 Slice 3: Users' home directories You also use the fdisk command to set the active partition manually, or write a short skript that flips the switch to boot from the other slice the next time (comparable to the nextboot command in relation to kernels); see man fdisk for details. That won't work in Windows mode, as you cannot click on the slice. :-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
