Hi, 
 
Mmmm this older version of Mandrake uses Lilo. Its an old box so I don't think I'm going to try installing modern Mandrake on it. Haven't gotten to the part in the book that talks about boot loaders yet, and what kind this release of FreeBSD uses. I did read about MCA bus stuff while thumbing through the book, but this system only has PCI & ISA buses. So I think its a go'er! 
Thanks for your input.
 
Ron

Hello, I have a project that I'm working on and am in need of some advice. 
 
I have an old IBM PC Server 310, I have 2 scsi cards installed. The first card has 3 hdd's and scsi cd-rom. This card & drives I would like to install Mandrake 7.0 on. 
 
The other card has no cd-rom but 4 drives on it, I would like to install FreeBSD on this other set of drives. 
 
Is it possible? 
 
Should I install FreeBSD first then Mandrake? 
 
Will lilo can come up with a boot menu, so I can boot into Mandrake or FreeBSD?
 
I bought a book on eBay for $4 The Complete FreeBSD, 3rd edition. By Greg Lehey Pub: Walnut Creek. (NEW) It has 4 cd-rom's with FreeBSD 4.6 
 
Any advice or information would be a help.
 
Thanks, Ron
