dailo Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I was looking at the linux tools and noticed that there is a loader that can handle 3 OS's. Would it be possible for me to tripplle boot mac os x, windows xp and FreeBSD on my MacBook Pro? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you're referring to rEFIt -- yes and no. rEFIt itself is just a boot menu, not an OS loader. It can handle any number of OSes, but you'll still need an actual loader for each one. Right now you can triple-boot Mac OS X, Windows XP (via xom.efi) and Linux (via elilo). As far as I know FreeBSD has no support for EFI on x86, only on IA64. Of course, that may change in the future, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
