Hi, Two steps: 1) Peel off the freebsd boot sector into a file by the following command: dd if=/dev/ad0s2a of=freeB.bt bs=512 count=1 2) Copy this file (freeB.bt) to the root directory of the XP partition. Open c:\boot.ini file. Append the line c:\freeB.bt="FreeBSD" and save it. Now reboot and you'll see the FreeBSD entry as well in the XP boot menu.
