I mean, these partitions are displayed as: Fx: ??? But, it does not happen when /stand/sysinstall writes the boot manager. Windows 9x/FAT32 are displayed as: Fx: Windows >How-To-Repeat: Install windows 9x in some partition of your hard disk. Install FreeBSD in another one. Reboot your computer. You will see the display manager prompt You will see something like this: F1: Windows F2: FreeBSD Run windows in msdos mode. Using "bootinst" write the boot manager You will see something like this: F1: ???
