It appears that I cannot put FreeBSD 5 and DragonFly on the
same DVD (or CD) and make them both bootable.  The problem
is that both use a similar -- but not identical -- infra-
structure below the /boot directory.  It doesn't seem to be
possible to use the same /boot/loader for both operating
systems, and it doesn't seem to be (easily) possible to
completely separate the boot process of either system into
a directory other than /boot.


The FreeBSD 5 boot loader should be able to load the DragonFly
kernel. You just have to tell him where it is. You might run
in some smaller problems with the default search pathes though,
esp. for acpi.ko

One suggestion -- use GRUB or any of the other bootloaders that will 
load both.
