I can enable or disable the SATA disks. setup A) Master: FreeBSD Slave: XP If I disable the master disk I boot XP fine - although the disk is slave. If I enable both, I get the FreeBSD boot manager with the FreeBSD as master disk with two options: F1 FreeBSD F5 Disk 1 setup B) Master: XP Slave: FreeBSD If I enable both, I boot straight into XP. I cannot enable both and select to boot the slave disk. If I disable the master disk, I get FreeBSD boot manager, but this does not see the master disk with XP giving me no option to boot it. So, it appears that I have to install the FreeBSD bootmanager (or some other multiboot boot manager) on the XP disk? It's been more than 5 years since I had a multiboot, so I'd like to know how I can do this and still get back to the original settings. How can I backup the existing MBR?
