Justin, I use the following to dual boot Win2K/FreeBSD (FreeBSD being= installed on a 2d HDD): 1) when you setup FreeBSD make sure you do not install any boot= manager 2) make sure both your Win2K and FreeBSD partitions are set to= "bootable" 3) download Bootpart from www.winimage.com. It will scan your= disks for the FreeBSD boot sector and create a boot file that= you can for example name bootsect.bsd 4) edit your boot.ini file and add the following line: C:\bootsect.bsd=3D"FreeBSD" Next time you restart you will have the choice of the OS's you= want to use. However Win2K is not mentionned on Bootpart site it works fine= for me. Of course make sure you backup you boot.ini before changing= it...
