As for the boot loader itself, I don't know a convenient way of installing it without FreeBSD, since several files are dependant on FreeBSD actually being installed. If you just want to be cute and have a different bootloader, you may want to look at the GRUB from the Hurd project. I think it may be able to bootstrap from fat32 or ntfs; don't quote me on that. -jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
