Install Freebsd And Windows 7
Configure FreeBSD Static IP. Regular FreeBSD permanent network settings can be manipulated by editing /etc/rc.conf file. In order to configure a network interface with static IP address on FreeBSD. First run ifconfig -a command to display a list of all NICs and identify the name of the interface you want to edit. It's possible to prepare a harddisk in such a way that both Windows and FreeBSD can reside on it. At boot time, the FreeBSD bootmanager menu can be used to choose which operating system to start. Since Windows always installs a MBR, it has to installed first, and FreeBSD second. We let FreeBSD.
I have two hard drives installed on my machine. I installed Windows 7 on one hard drive and FreeBSD 9 on the other. I used GPT for FreeBSD. My question is: how can I install a boot manager so that I can dual boot? (In FreeBSD 8, sysinstall asks for a boot manager but bsdinstall doesn't?)
