I have Win2k installed currently, then I set up FreeBSD, I partition the main HD, to include both systems on the same disk, and I make the FreeBSD partition bootable (active). When I restart the box, and see an option such as: F1. DOS F3. FreeBSD F5. ??? The F1 key works to boot windows, but when F3 is hit, the result is this: F3: ?%&@ It does not boot, just beeps. Then I hit F3 again to go back to the Main menu and boot to windows ok. What is causing this to happen? I would also like to get rid of the F5 option with ???, how can I do this? Please help.
