I installed -current on a notebook with WINNT on the disk.  The
notebook has the ide disk limitation.  So, I chopped the disk do get
around it.  Maybe I should buy a new notebook, but, this one works.

Everything worked OK, except the boot manager.  I get:

  F1 ??
  F2 FreeBSD
  F3 ??
  F4 FreeBSD

Pressing F1 boots WINNT, F2 boots FreeBSD. The other partitions are
not bootable.

The disk slices are:
  1. 400MB WINNT NTFS
  2. 120 FreeBSD /, swap, and /var
  3. 600MB WINNT NTFS
  4. 960MB FreeBSD /usr

FDISK recognizes the partition as NTFS, etc.

How do I get something other than ?? for F1 and lose F3 and F4?
