What you have done should be fine. But some how the FBSD slice is marked=20
at the bootable slice.

In FBSD use fdisk to change the bootable slice to the XP slice, and all s=
hould=20
be well. You might find it convenient to first prepare a copy of the requ=
ired=20
FreeBSD boot sector on a DOS floppy.

Don't take too much notice of people babbling on about "full BSD boot man=
agers"
or GAG.
