tried installing FreeBSD (Vista was already installed), but then got a problem with the boot loader I think. I could boot to FreeBSD fine, but couldnt to Vista. So I have reimaged the machine with Vista now. How do I go about installing FreeBSD (6.3) on it now? Anyone has done this already please

. Boot with a CD like Norton Partition Magic or GParted and mark the Vista partition active. Boot Vista, then download and install the EasyBCD from http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 It is then trivial to add a stanza to Vista bootloader (!) to boot FreeBSD. Hth, Alphons -- VISTA - Viruses

Sorry if this is obvious but I just did this myself with similar problems. Is your /boot a seperate partition? If so, bsd will not boot. It will happily install but will come back with a no kernel found error or similar. I believe this is because only the / partition is mounted at that point.
