SHUDDER Rather you than me ;-) I've searched the online doc's/archives and can't find reference to it (earliest Win OS mention is win95). You could try bochs in the ports. I used it for a while, and it's pretty good. And you don't have to reboot to enjoy the manifold pleasures on offer in Win 3.1, and you can be sure it doesn't do anything pernicious and sneaky with your MBR. Just a thought.

Yes, just treat it the same as Win95 for this purpose. I've searched the online doc's/archives and can't find reference to it (earliest Win OS mention is win95). Any pointers / assistance would be appreciated. Partition your drive into two primary partitions, the first is for DOS/Win3.1 and can be created via DOS FDisk (Just leave empty space for FreeBSD, and be sure to use DOS fdisk, rather than Win956 or Win98 FDISK), install DOS and Win3.11, then install FreeBSD normally to the unpartitioned space (Creating partitions in the FreeBSD installer, of course). Install the FreeBSD bootloader to the MBR and you should be good to go. Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
