Before restarting, I would copy /boot/boot1 to somewhere accessible by windows named something like freebsd.boot. Then I'd set up the NT boot loader: right click on my computer... properties... advance tab... startup and recovery settings... click edit and add line c:\freebsd.boot="FreeBSD" ---> filename of what /boot/boot1 was copied to. This should have gotten to dual booting windows and freebsd, but using the nt boot loader. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: FreeBSD Boot Manager Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 20:17:15 -0500 From: Grant Peel To: Hi all, I was bored earlier tonight and I decided to tinker a bit with FreeBSD 6.4 on my Windows XP SP3 box. In that machine, there is one SATA drive. On that drive, there was about 100 GB of free space, so I decided to try putting FreeBSD 6.4 on it. During the install, I opted to use the Free BSD boot manage. The install went flawlessly. The problem is, when I boot up I get: F1 ?? F2 FreeBSD F5 Disk1 F2, is obviously, the new installation of FreeBSD 6.4, which boots perfectly. F5 is a spare SCSI disk connected to an Initio controller. F1 is the probelem. Windose no longer boots. When I select F2, I simply get the cursor on a new line, and nothing happens. Like this: F1 ?? F2 FreeBSD F5 Disk1 _ Any idea what I might need to do to make windows work again? It may be worth mentioning, I had Norton GoBack running on the disk before I installed FreeBSD, although I am not aware if it does anything to the booting system.
