Hi there,

I have set up a NT4/Solaris7 dualboot machine on a PII 300MHz, 64MB RAM,
9.4GB HD. I can successfully use solaris's bootmanager to load NT4 should I
need to. What I would like to know is that can I install NT5 beta2 over the
solaris/NT4 dualboot? Has anybody run this kind of a setup where you have
solaris7 running on top of NT4 and NT5 running on top of solaris? Here's my
configuration:
2 physical disks.
DISK1- 1000MB [900M for NT NTFS, 100M with Solaris] --This is
the boot disk
DISK2- 8400MB [3000M for SOLARIS, rest 5400M is free]

Can I install NT5beta2 on the remaining 5400MB of the DISK2 and have its
bootmanager allow us to load the solaris
OS bootmanager which in turn would allow to load the NT4 bootmanager? If so,
that would be great

Thanks for you comments.

Jeff
