I have tried to use the BSD Boot manager and the Windows Boot manager. In either case I have run into problems. When using the BSD boot manager, it will cause the Windows server to crash at boot. Windows manager will not boot to the BSD partition. I have googled it and have not found much other than 3rd party boot manager. Is there a best practices I could follow on this? Has anyone got this combination to work? Thanks for your help.
