(i have sound and i'm familiar with it) i want XP (32 bit) and FreeBSD (AMD64) on dual boot, on the same disk, independant partitions/slices, and i know how to do it with linux (well... really grub does it), but will be the frist time i try it with FreeBSD... i dont know how to use or configure the BSD's boot loader, i check the HandBook and The Boot Manager and Boot Stages but isnt clear enough (for me), also i found a small guide about How to Dual Boot using GRUB, seems easy, but it doesnt explain how to replace the default loader of FreeBSD and what other steps are needed... i already check the section about Installation but the options are "default boot loader" and "don't touch MBR" and i don't found other options in the handbook. any tips will be well received and i will continue finding more information about that (and if exists a way to keep Win2 untouched and overwrite/override the linux section on GRUB) thanks to everybody see you
