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.

See ya,
Sanjay
