Paul,
I installed DF on my WinXP box at work. I didn't do anything fancy and have
a similar setup (Hidden Dell, WinXP, DragonFly). I installed the DF boot
loader and boot blocks. When it first boots, I get the following menu:
F1 DOS
F2 DOS
F3 BSD
F1 takes me to the Dell stuff. F2 is really XP, and well, I think you can
figure out where F3 takes me.
Good luck,
Adrian
