During installation I did set the FreeBSD slice with the / 
system bootable, I also set the Windows partition 
bootable.
I believe, I choose install the boot manager on both
disks. 
In other words I hoped I did exact that way.
But it won't work.

I hoped so. And old Windows versions (on a different box) 
booted. That is why I start to wonder if XP is different.

Yes, I guess I should use that or GRUB.

Bye,
