Hi, it seems it's so common knowledge to achieve this, that there isn't any info anywhere about it. So, I have a winxp hard disk at the end of a sata pci-card, and freebsd harddisk straight in the motherboard ide connection. So if both are connected, freebsd starts, and if I take cabled off the freebsd harddisk, windows starts. I cannot choose it from the bios that windows would make it first. So that rules out the solution from handbook, where it's done vice versa. Secondly, I wouldn't want any gag or grub or any other "external" programs; I'm quite sure freebsd's own bootloader can do it without problems. Question remains: how? I vaguely remember I had done it before. Thank you for your time, Mikko (using freebsd 5.4) PS: I'm not subscribed at the moment, I would appreciate if you could post a copy for me.
