[snip re network card about which I've no idea, sorry] Do either of two things: 1a. Copy the /boot/boot1 file from FreeBSD hard drive to a floppy (should be FAT32 format), giving it a name like "bootsect.bsd" - without the quotes, of course. b. Boot into DOS from a bootable floppy and run fdisk /mbr on your W2K drive. c. Copy bootsect.bsd to your W2K hard drive. d. Edit boot.ini on your W2K drive by adding [W2K hard drive letter]:\bootsect.bsd="FreeBSD" (*with* the quotes) or 2. Install GRUB from /usr/ports/sysutils/grub, type "info grub" (no quotes), read the instructions carefully, and set it up as your boot loader.
