It creates, when it boots, a file called syscmndr.sys, in C:\. If the System Commander is set up to boot the last operating system loaded by default, you can copy this file (when FreeBSD is loaded) to syscmndr.bsd, and when nt is loaded, to syscmndr.nt. Then you copy whichever one you want to syscmndr.sys, and reboot. This assumes you can log in to either system and get write access to the dos drive containing syscmdr.sys and so forth.
