Hi,
I have been searching through questions and forums for information
on dual booting FreeBSD 8.3 on a machine with Windows 7 already on it.
My problem is that the posts seem to go around in circles and be
contradictory. I am not sure which to believe.
My new machine has two disk drives. Windows 7 is on ad0 and I want
to put FreeBSD 8.3 on ad1, leaving W7 as is. So, I don't even have
to shrink a primary slice to do this.
Since each system is going to be on different physical drives, why don't you
make things easy for you and just use the BIOS boot menu to choose which
drive to boot from?
That surely seems the hard way. Why interrupt the boot and go
in to the BIOS every time when that is all provided for in the
boot structure?
It depends on the system, but many have a boot menu that is less
intrusive than a multi-boot loader. F11 or F12 usually.
Otherwise, EasyBCD works.
