-OpenBSD/i386 can be installed to share the system disks with other operating -systems, such as MS-DOS, Windows or Linux, using the MBR/partition table -scheme, and an optional boot selector program. -Everyday operation is trouble free, but setup requires care, and several -operating systems, such as Windows 95, are known to be careless about -pre-existing MBR information. -
