Hello everyone.

I am currently installing FreeBSD 4.8 on one of my computers at home. I have a question about the FreeBSD bootloader...

I specified to install it during installation.
At this time, I currently have two hard drives in this particular computer. I am installing FreeBSD on the first hard drive and I would like to install another *BSD, probably NetBSD on the second hard drive...

My question is that I have very little experience with the FreeBSD bootloader and was wondering how to configure it so it will recognize NetBSD on the second hard drive...

I thought about GAG, but GAG only works with one disk...

Any help on the FreeBSD boot loader would be great...

Thanks.

What? Not true! I use it to dual boot a box at work with 2 drives.

Hmm..how'd you do that?

I'm thinking I did something on the second OS install that I specified something on the second drive for the loader or something...

Any thoughts on how to set it up with two drives?

I can't recall but the options are there in the menu when you boot it. This is straight from gag.sourceforge.net:

Can exchange disk drives, allowing to boot from the second, third... hard disk operating systems
