You can define the first boot disk in your BIOS (usually) but that's not=20 convenient. You need a bootmanager. WinXP has one, you can dump the loader from the BSD slice and copy it into= =20 a location where the XP loader can read it. Or you can use the FreeBSD BootEays manager, see boot0cfg. I recommend using GAG (http://gag.sourceforge.net/) but grub and similar=20 should also work. =2DHarry P.S.: There's freebsd-questions@ for that kind of questions ;) > > Thank you all so much. > > Benjamin > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --nextPart1305727.T84nu2dEER Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCtwHyBylq0S4AzzwRAj89AKCC3sXMbSkzscDgsdixs1qVoMr4BgCfVgZj tzaFqwmde/Wi2Lyj/O3DLt4= =emcD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1305727.T84nu2dEER--
