You can configure your boot manager to default to booting Windows and to only boot FreeBSD if you tell it to. You will still have to reboot the machine to switch back and forth, however. You want to install Windows first and FreeBSD second if you take this approach, however. I belive there is a tutorial on www.FreeBSD.org for this. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
