Run boot0cfg from FreeBSD: # boot0cfg -B /dev/ad1 2. Copy the MBR of the ad1 disk to a file: # dd if=/dev/ad1 of=bootsect.bsd bs=512 count=1 3. Save this file to a floppy disk, or some other Windows-accessible place. Using a floppy-disk, formatted as FAT, this could be done by typing: # mount -t msdosfs /dev/fd0 /mnt/dos # cp bootsect.bsd /mnt/dos # umount /mnt/dos 4. Boot into Windows and copy the file A:\BOOTSECT.BSD to C:\ 5. Continue as described in the FAQ :)
