In the faq, section 8.7, there is a description of the boot.ini file modified to include FreeBSD and Unix. We are advised to "copy the first sector of your native root FreeBSD or Linux partition into a file in the DOS/NT partition". How exactly is this done? I have a new SCSI controller and drive, and I plan on having one partition for DOS/NT and one for FreeBSD. I will be starting over from scratch with fresh installs, and after installing, bringing over data (zips, etc) from tape. Do you have any suggestions for a preferred procedure? I have heard that putting NT on first would be good, since Windows has a tendency to erase or otherwise mutilate other MBR data...?
