In your case - depending on device names you are currently using - something _like this_ should do the trick: # fdisk -B /dev/ad0s2 I think you can also use the sysinstall Partition screen to update the boot sector (make no change to the slice listing, maybe mark the FreeBSD slice as "active", then exit the screen and choose either "standard MBR" or the "boot manager" depending on your requirements). As I'm not a multi-boot person, I can't be more specific, sorry. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
