cooper Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well, as that link you posted so eloquently explains: Copy the PC-BSD boot sector to the Windows partition (eg. as file pcbsd.pbr): (description will follow) I particularly like the 'will follow' part, combined with the 'Page last modified on November 25, 2005, at 01:42 PM' near the bottom. :roll: Look here. Step 4 of the description there apparently extracts the boot sector, only they named it bootsect.lnx instead of pcbsd.pbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 # Copy the PC-BSD boot sector to the Windows partition (eg. as file pcbsd.pbr): (description will follow) LMFAO This has to be the one statement that truely sums up the problems with OSS imo lol http://hak5.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=5764#5764 Not to sure if this will help, but this describes how i dual booted using the windows boot loader. You want to read up on step 4. Basically you copy the PCBSD boot sector onto a file, and point windows at it. It works, but i'd recommend grub or something similar. BTW, how are you finding PC BSD compared to freeBSD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakgipc Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 i find pc-bsd a hell of alot beter than freebsd vako. it has a nice kde 3.5 desktop enviroment and i made the taskbar look like a mac its sweet u should try it. oh btw it is based on freebsd but the diffrence is it is nearly all gui witch is a good thing and still really fast to install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 it has a nice kde 3.5 desktop enviroment So dose FreeBSD and i made the taskbar look like a mac its sweet u should try it. You can do that in FreeBSD as well (or any OS that you can run KDE on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
