If you try the w2k boot manager, you should: copy the first 512 bytes of your freebsd partition into an archive dd if=/dev/(freebsd partition) of=/bsd-boot.img bs=512 count=1 Then copy bsd-boot.img to your w2k partition and add a line to boot.ini bsd-boot.img="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" At least works for me, hope for you too...
