I say "I hope" because I don't have any way to boot into it except by booting the 3.4 CD-ROM, which starts the installation process, or by booting from the kernel and mfsroot floppies I made, which also start the installation process. Now, I believe I need a boot manager at the beginning of the C: to query me whether I want to boot into Windows or FreeBSD. However, _The Complete FreeBSD_ sure doesn't seem to discuss this particular situation, at all. What is the best way of doing this without running any significant risk of devastating the C:?
