I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.5 and Windows XP in the same machine having
FreeBSD in the _first_ partition (because I would like to if it was possible).
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?

PS Will I be able to mount ntfs from FreeBSD? If not, is there a standard way to pass
files between them?
