I've got my primary drive divided in two partitions, one partition had WindowsXP and the other has FreeBSD 5.1-Release on it. I had WindowsXP installed and working until I put FreeBSD on the second partition and had it take control of the MBR. I know that the other partition is still bootable if I can get a pointer to it, currently the boot menu shows it as: F!: ?? F2: FreeBSD How can I get that first menu choice to look at the installation on the first partition as bootable? Making the machine a dual boot between the two system? The second question I have, is can I put the command startx into my rc.conf file to have it boot directly into the x-server? Any help on these two would be awesome. Thanks.
