I decided to loadding os NT loader from Windows XP. I have read this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADE R My situation: 1. partion ... wxp /dev/ad4s1 2. partion ... ntfs data partition /dev/ad4s2 3. partion ... fbsd adm64 /dev/ad4s3a 4. partion ... fbsd i386 /dev/ad4s4a Sata disk 320GB. What I did: 1. /dev/ad4s3a: cp /boot/boot1 FreeBSDa64.BSD to 1. partion 2. /dev/ad4s4a: cp /boot/boot1 FreeBSDi386.BSD to 1.partion 3. reply 1.-2. with dd if=/dev/ad4s3a of=/...dd.BSD bs=512 count=1 4. edit boot.ini so there are WXP and 2 copied boot1 to 3rd and 4th partition and 2 made by dd command, so 5 records NT loader boot 3rd partion without any problem, but when I want to boot to 4th partition, it loads 3rd one again and again. I does not get to there at all. If I compare these 4 files, all are the same, so how could ntloader to load something other than the first bsd partition if files did not differ at all !!! If it is known issue, why it is not in documentation, that point 9.10 in FAQ works ONLY and ONLY with ONLY 1 FreeBSD partition ? I recommand to edit this question 9.10 to mention this barrier, if it is true. P.S.: I am not currently subscribed in the freebsd-stable and freebsd-questions mailling lists, so mail me directly. Thanks.
