I almost suceed because after installing FreeBSD first and then Windows XP I could start from the FreeBSD CD and execute boot -a to boot from the right device, but after executing # fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad0 as explained in the Handbook, the boot manager showed F1 FreeBSD F2 ?? and F2 didn't do anything but produce a beep. It seemed I just could choose F1 there. If I install the systems the other way around those question marks are associated to F1, which is the default, and pressing ENTER Windows XP boots. So, is there a way to fix that "F2 ??" of the first settings? -- fxn PS Will I be able to mount ntfs from FreeBSD? If not, is there a standard way to pass files between them?
