follow steps described previously. (you have to boot into freebsd 1st to
save the partition boot record.

get a copy of MS's boot disk (dos, w9x). boot up and do "fdisk /mbr". that
should clear the mbr and have win2k boot up without freebsd's boot easy
manager.

another easy way of doing this is to download bootpart from
http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm. read on bootpart.txt.
