It would get to the point that I chose FreeBSD using ntldr and it just stopped. The XP sytem used an older boot1 to boot FreeBSD. I could use the 6.0-Release CD fixit option to go back to the system update of 18 March. Since then, I have found that if I unload the 18 March kernel, load the 22 March kernel and boot, I get a btx dump. However, if you replace the old boot1 used by the ntldr with the one created by the new version of the OS, you can boot just fine.
