Sorry if I'm being stupid here, but isn't the above correct?

When you boot the machine you would see the second of the two menus you gave 
above. F1 will boot into Win2000, F5 will switch to the other drive.

If you switch to the other drive, you see the first of the two menus. When F1 
will boot into FreeBSD and F5 will switch you back to the other drive.

I have a similar situation on my machine where I have two HDDs, with Win98SE 
on the primary master drive, and FreeBSD on the secondary master drive. I 
have menus identical to yours on my box, and everything works perfectly.

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Andrew.
