Hi :e
I've read the other three threads that deal with XP and FreeBSD in dual boot, but I am still not quite sure about the information. I have gone through the manual but that also doesn't tell me in enough 'noob'-terms what I am looking for. I've seen a manual somewhere on the web about resizing my disk to make room for BSD, but this is not necessary for me: I have XP PRO installed on disk 1 which includes several partitions for data. I want to install BSD on disk 2 dedicated, and I would like to have dual boot (since I don't have any serious experience with BSD so I will need XP for my day to day work).
So my question is: will the BSD installer in the above setup allow me to have a dual boot after the installation by default, or are there some ultra scary things I need to do that will scare the daylight out of my eyes r)? I mean, in the afore mentioned threads there is talk about 'messing around' with bootloaders and such, and from reading that I am starting to sweat So I have the DVD here but I just don't dare to put it into the DVD-writer
I apologize if this question appears to be to stupid, but I really have no clue.
Thank you in advance for your answers :e
