I am trying to work out how to get NT to give me a choice to load Freebsd.

Some details:
Buslogic controller, 1st scsi drive has NT loaded on it, 2nd scsi drive 
has freebsd. I should say that I can boot Freebsd from floppy with 
sd(1,a)/kernel.

>From what I have read I have copied /usr/mdec/sdboot to the first scsi 
drive ie. c:\sdboot.sec - after editing boot.ini to point to sdboot.sec I 
get a choice when the disk is booted. If I choose Freebsd I get a message 
"no bootable partition".

Following more reading I tried editing /usr/src/sys/i386/biosboot/boot.c
to include:

        part = 0;
        unit = 1;
        drive = 0x81;
        maj = 0;

Following compiling it I copied it again to c:\sdboot.sec
using dd i.e:

dd if=/usr/mdec/sdboot of=/mountpointofdosfilesystem/sdboot.sec bs=512 
count=1

Again no bootable partition.

Can anyone point out where I might be going wrong.
