Change ?? to Windows2000 You'll need to fix the boot0 program - sources are in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot0/boot0.s - to recognize the NTFS partition type and print the string you want. > 2.

Alternatively, you could install a more general boot manager that lets you configure names for different boot sequences. I personally use GRUB, but there are a number of others available. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
