I had some experience with the system ... only it in my machine. I have never used the boot loader and it rules. Now I have a different situation: My first IDE drive is (on IDE 0 - master) .... with windows XP controlling it MBR. My second IDE drive (on IDE 0 - slave) .... is with FreeBSD 5.3 controlling it MBR. How can I do to configure the boot loader and the scripts: loader.rc and loader.conf to create a dual boot environment using FreeBSD boot loader ? I have to install the file boo0 on windows XP MBR drive ? And about the configurations to put them all in the same menu ? Thanks a lot, Giuliano
