You can use "dd" to extract your boot record and then put it into NT's root and point its multi-OS thingy to it (Pretty rediculusly difficult for multibooting if you ask me. Probably intentional) or you can just have FreeBSD repair the MBR by booting from a CD or floppy after NT is installed. You can then use FreeBSD to do the multibooting. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
