After booting from CD and mounting as root ad0 device, I replaced boot0 record using the following command line : # boot0cfg -Bv -s 1 -t 91 ad0 On my PC I have 14G Windows XP partition(primary partition), 7G Linux (2 extended partitions) and 7G FreeBSD 5.0 - Current (primary partition). On second disk I have Windows 98. After installing I see something like this : F1 - ??? F3 - FreeBSD F5 - Disk 2 It is strange that only F1 works (start Windows XP), while F3 play some sound. Pressing F5 starts Windows XP, but it could be because Windows on my second disk. Yes I know that there are other boot managers like GRUB, but it is another beer. I haven't enough time to investigate where the problem is (boot0 code), but this evening I should. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
