--=-B6rWd2weKM7Xr0qH2Sgj Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I've tried about 18 different ways to get my dual-boot working, but it just refuses to give me the option to choose between OS's. Here's my setup: hd0: Windows 2000 hd2: FreeBSD 5.0 During install, I specified to install the FreeBSD Boot Manager on hd2. However, the boot manager does not detect the Windows 2000 partition, and jumps right in to running FreeBSD. I then tried running /stand/sysinstall to do a post-install fdisk to add the boot manager to hd0. The idea here was to boot to hd0, select Win2k, or load up the boot manager on hd2 and proceed. However, this setup just jumps right into Win2k without any options. I've been all over http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.htm= l#BOOTMGR, but I'm afraid that I'm just about out of ideas. The terminology= is a bit foreign to me, so following the instructions is a bit difficult. Someone suggested modifying the Windows boot.ini file to do it, but I'm not really sure how to do that either. I'm almost to the point of just reinstalling from scratch to get this working. However, before I do that, I'd like to see if someone can offer some advice. I'm lost at the moment, so any extra info would surely be helpful.
