Please note that also The serious problem of not being able to boot the system after updating the loader stuff is now fixed. The problem was that I had not copied the first 512 bytes from the FreeBSD partition to a file in the NT partition. This file is then used by the NT boot manager. After being stung by this problem twice hopefully I will not forget to do this again. After updating the kernel sources I am going to install a new kernel and hope that the machine remains stable. If it crashes, hopefully the kernel will drop to DDB.
