I know it is not really Freebsd related but I hope someone can help me here.

I want to dual boot XP and Red Hat Linux. Unfortunately it seems not has easy has dual booting 2000 and Freebsd.

I followed some guidelines but it does not work.

I have 2 NTFS partitions  and about 14 gb of free space.
I start installing RH and use the auto-partioner to create the necessary partitions in the free space.

When I come to the boot manager section I tried the following:

- Use grub and write to the MBR. Result: Windows does not boot.
- Use grub and write to the first sector of the linux boot partition. Result: Boots straight into XP


Any ideas?
