So the freebsd bootloader 'sees' the DOS partition (fat32) which is the second partition and is above 1024 cylinders but when i want to boot with F2 the windows system i just hear a beep and it doesn't boot. I have to se the boot flag on the windows partition and if i want to boot freebsd to set the boot flag back to the bsd partition. Can you help me ?
