Forgive my newbiness but I am trying to get my thinkpad to triple boot XP, FC6, and FreeBSD.
I split the harddrive into thirds, installed XP on the first partition, FreeBSD on the second, and then FC6 on the third. During FC6 installation I chose to install a new bootloader but the freebsd bootloader seems to prevail. The bootloader options are:
F1: DOS
F2: FreeBSD
F4: DOS
F1 goes to XP
F2 goes to FreeBSD
F4 says: "Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart"
Any help here is appreciated. Do I need to install in a different order? Do I need to manually edit the FreeBSD bootloader to recognice the Fedora installation? I reinstalled FC6 a second time and it did see that there was already a Fedora installation so I know it installed correctly - I just can't boot to it.
Thanks in advance - Brian
