Hello,

Here's what I've got on my installation :

C:\boot.ini :

[boot loader]^M
timeout=30^M
default=C:\BOOT1.BSD^M
[operating systems]^M
C:\BOOT1.BSD = FreeBSD3.2^M
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation
Version 4.00"^M
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation
Version 4.00 [Mode VGA]" /basevideo /sos^M

c:\boot1.bsd is a copy of the /boot/boot1 file from the BSD root
partition.

I can with this setup choose from the NTLDR boot menun which OS I want
to start (but this setup is good only with both OS's on the same disk).

I assume that if you have two disks, you can have a similar config with
boot0 instead of boot1 from my setup. (install also boot0 on the MBR of
the second disk)

	TfH
