Re: FreeBSD on first hard drive - Windows on the second, configuring
Hi community, I have my PC with two hard drives. I'd like to configure my PC this way:the first hard disk with FreeBSD, the second one with Windows Server 2003. Is possible to use my PC in this way,booting from FreeBSD ? I think you can do this OK, but you might want to put the MS stuff in the first disk. It can be picky and FreeBSD will run just fine in the second. I would like to use FreeBSD and,by means of Wine emulator, being able to use Windows on the other disk. I have never used wine so someone else will have to comment on this part. jerry - For complete information,even in the case you don't need it, I include the disklabel command output of my FreeBSD disk: 8 partitions: #size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1638400 4.2BSD 1024 819216 # (Cyl.0 - 10*) b: 532480 163840 swap# (Cyl. 10*- 46*) c: 614324970 unused0 0# (Cyl.0 - 4062*) e: 60736177 6963204.2BSD 1024 819216 # (Cyl. 46*- 4062*) /dev/ad2s1e: type: ESDI disk: ad2s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 240 sectors/cylinder: 15120 cylinders: 4062 sectors/unit: 61432497 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 --- Thank you Bruno ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FreeBSD on first hard drive - Windows on the second, configuring
I don't believe you can configure Windows to boot on anything other than what the BIOS believes is disk 0 (aka Drive C), so set it up such that Windows is on the first drive and FreeBSD is on the second, and have the boot manager or Grub or whatever set up to boot from the other drive. --Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can't tell you about Wine, but you can easily use the FreeBSD bootloader to boot to either FreeBSD or Windows. Because Windows may want to be on the first hard disk and FreeBSD doesn't care, make your FreeBSD disk second in the BIOS boot order. When you install FreeBSD, choose to install the FreeBSD bootloader on *both* of your disks. You will then be able to select at boot time whether to boot into Windows or FreeBSD.
