The *second* time I went into the NT side, whereupon my computer loudly complained that it couldn't find ntldr. So then the third time I went into DOS whereupon my ever-eager Norton utilities had informed me that all hell had broken loose inside my MBR, and would I like it to fix it for me. I said sure, so it restored it, brought back ntldr from the dead, and in the process totally blew away any evidence that FreeBSD had ever attemped to install. Now, if I try again on a *proper* partition, will I be able to use the Booteasy with boot.ini calling up the DOS/NT menu?
