I use the NT boot manager to boot FreeBSD and NT. Works great - just use the "standard MBR" on the FreeBSD disk (sd1), and copy the first 512 bytes of the disk to a file called "BOOTBSD.BIN" on the NT "C:" drive, and edit the BOOT.INI file to add an entry for the BOOTBSD.BIN file. I figured I might as well use the NT boot manager since it was already there, and it has a nice little menu system :-) -Mark > > The current rumour is that a certain NT defragmenter does a lot more than > defrag drives (Ref.
