Use separate physical SCSI disks and use a boot-time option provided by your SCSI card to select your boot disk.

1. Delete all partitions on you drive.

2. Install Solaris but tell it NOT to use all space on the disk for Solaris. Instead use the partitioning program to create your Solaris partitions whilst leaving enough space for Win2k.

3. Install Win2k.

4. Use a partition management program (such as Partition Magic) to select which partition you want active: Solaris or Win2k. This will select which boot manager to use. I prefer the Solaris boot manager to Win2k's although I actually install the LILO boot manager from Linux and use that one instead.
