It's quite simple. I use Win2K's standard ntldr to multi-boot.
First make sure you have either free space on your hard drive, or a free
partition. Of course this is the space/partition you're going to use to
install FreeBSD on. When installing FreeBSD, make sure to set your Win2K
partition as "active" (in fdisk, press "s" when Win2K partition is
highlighted). Also, tell FreeBSD not to touch the MBR at all.
Once FreeBSD is completely installed. Get a floppy, mount it (using
mount_msdos) and copy /boot/boot1 to the floppy as free.bsd (or whatever,
the naming convention does not matter). Once it's copied, restart your
machine. Win2K should load (provided you set Win2K as active). Copy the
free.bsd file from your floppy drive into your Win2K's root partition.
Edit boot.ini to include the line
c:\free.bsd="FreeBSD 4.3"
Restart you're machine and you should be on your way!
good luck - click
