[snip re network card about which I've no idea, sorry]

Do either of two things:

1a. Copy the /boot/boot1 file from FreeBSD hard drive to a floppy
(should be FAT32 format), giving it a name like "bootsect.bsd"
- without the quotes, of course.

b. Boot into DOS from a bootable floppy and run fdisk /mbr on your
W2K drive.

c. Copy bootsect.bsd to your W2K hard drive.

d. Edit boot.ini on your W2K drive by adding
[W2K hard drive letter]:\bootsect.bsd="FreeBSD" (*with* the quotes)

or

2. Install GRUB from /usr/ports/sysutils/grub, type "info grub"
(no quotes), read the instructions carefully, and set it up as your
boot loader.
