Title: dual boot
Post by: hlyi on April 02, 2020, 03:56:18 AM
The disk footprint of opnsense seems to be very small, which is great. I hope I could dual boot opnsense with my linux box. However, opnsense installer wants to take over whole disk. Is there any way to install opnsense to a partition?

Thanks

Hi hlyi,

The custom installer will do this, but it only supports MBR.


Cheers,

Thanks @Franco. A newbie question, how do I invoke custom installer?

It's the second option below "guided install". :)
