    hi all.
    I added a 2 GB linux disk as a slave and installed
    Mandrake Linux with LILO on the root partition of
    linux.

    I am trying configure Boot Easy to boot linux.
    Since FreeBSD occupies all of the 1st HD, should I
    install a STANDARD boot loader on first or on both
    Hard disks.

    thx
