Default tri boot setup project ? 2k / debian / freebsd

Heres what I got >>

WD HD 30Gig & IBM HD 60Gig

heres how i want the partitions:

30gig WD: 10gigs win2k@fat32 | 10gigs win2kprograms@fat32 | 10gigs debian/freebsd

60gig IBM: file storage network 33gigs | filestorage local 27gigs.

now how do i set up the slices to work well between debian/freebsd? i read lightly that you share /home/ between the two.

also how would u set up your favorite bootloader ( lilo prolly ) to load 2k / debian / freebsd?


i'm gonna post all the info i find when i work on this tomorrow too..

please find some time to jot anything down if u got ideas!
kthxbye

heres what i found so far on multi booting. at least the closest things to what i'm looking for:

edit:: did a bit more research, this looks to be a promising bootloader

i would install win2k first

then freebsd then debian

and for bootloader i would use BootMan
first back up your master boot record incase u want to restore something

System Commander is another one that kinda set things in motion for you
it takes care of partitioning and installing and all the way to boot selection
good program

no i havent tried it out yet

i think System Commander is one of the most mateur bootloader
but of course, not all the good stuff comes free

hey if u are trying out xosl, tell us how it goes
freebies = popularity

i will be installing debian this week ( never done it before ), once that is up and running well i will be installing freebsd ( done it once ), if that bootloader is kinda cheesy then i'll go to xosl and if that sux i'll try the ones you suggested

i changed the way i'm setting it up a bit:

wd 30 gig: 20 gig win2k | 5 gig debian | 5 gig freebsd

tell ya when i get debian up
