As far as fbsd existing on the same drive as NT, it makes sense, but when fbsd is on another drive, the FAQ makes it sound as if /boot/boot1 shouldn't be used at all, and that /boot/boot0 should be used only after certain steps are taken. However, doing this has led to disaster for me and at least one other person http://listserver.uk.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-users/2000-June/001491.html has made the same error, though he has more experience than me. The way he tells it, /boot/boot0 should never be copied. If this is the case, there definately should be a warning in the FAQ. If it should be /boot/boot0 and I messed something else up, then perhaps it could be more clear.
