I have installed FreeBSD on a separate disk (IDE) but my boot manager refuses to boot windows, which is located on my other disk ( also IDE ). I have set my FreeBSD disk to master and the windows disk to slave and when I boot the FreeBSD disk I get the option to choose either F1 or F5 ( FreeBSD/Disk 1 ). Unfortunately ( or perhaps fortunately, if you ask FreeBSD ) it has no effect when I choose Disk 1, that is Windows. I´ve checked my BIOS and in which order it boots my disks and I get Windows to work if I tell BIOS to boot the windows disk first, but then of course I can´t choose between the operating systems. What shall I do to make the boot manager work properly? I use the MBR which comes along with the FreeBSD package. Besides this FreeBSD works perfect.
