>Description:
Please update the following section: Section 9.10 How can I use the NT loader to boot FreeBSD?
For windows 2000 Server, the correct commands to modify the attributes for boot.ini are:
attrib -h -s c:\boot.ini
and
attrib +s +h c:\boot.ini
I'm not sure if the order of the arguments is important, but that's the order I used.
Otherwise the procedure works great for dual booting FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE and Windows 2000 Server.
The only attributes set are H and S. The file is not marked readonly.

>How-To-Repeat:
1) Install Windows 2000 Server
2) log in as Administrator
3) Start Command Prompt window
4) Enter command 'attrib -s -r c:\boot.ini'
The command fails.
