>Description:
By request, I have added a bit more information to the boot chapter.
The enclosed patch will add information about doing multi-boot of FreeBSD and the
Linux operating system.  Eventually, I will touch this chapter up again to have
information on dualbooting Windows/FreeBSD.

+ 
+        <para>If you are a Linux user, however, and prefer that <application>LILO</application>
+          control the boot process, you can edit the <filename>/etc/lilo.conf</filename>
+          file for FreeBSD, or select <option>Leave The Master Boot Record Untouched</option>
+          during the FreeBSD installation process.  If you have installed the
+          the FreeBSD boot manager, you can boot back into Linux and modify the
+          <application>LILO</application> configuration file
+          <filename>/etc/lilo.conf</filename> and add the following option:</para>
+       <programlisting>
+ other=/dev/hdXY
+ table=/dev/hdb
+ loader=/boot/chain.b
+ label=FreeBSD
+       </programlisting>
+         <para>which will permit the booting of FreeBSD and Linux via <application>LILO</application>.
+           In our example, we use <replaceable>XY</replaceable> to determine drive number
+           and partition.  If you are using a <acronym>SCSI</acronym> drive, you will want
+           to change <replaceable>/dev/hdXY</replaceable> to read something similar to
+           <replaceable>/dev/sdXY</replaceable>, which again uses the <replaceable>XY</replaceable>
+           syntax.  The <option>loader=/boot/chain.b</option> can be omitted if you have
+           both operating systems on the same drive.  You can now run
+           <command>/sbin/lilo -v</command> to commit your new changes to the system,
+           this should be verified with screen messages.</para>
