in your faq i read:
"The general idea is that you copy the first sector of your native root
FreeBSD or Linux partition into a file in the DOS/NT partition. Assuming
you name that file
something like c:\bootsect.bsd or c:\bootsect.lnx (inspired by
c:\bootsect.dos) you can then edit the c:\boot.ini file to come up with
something
like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows NT"
C:\BOOTSECT.BSD="FreeBSD"
C:\BOOTSECT.LNX="Linux"
C:\="DOS"
This procedure assumes that DOS, NT, Linux, FreeBSD, or whatever have
been installed into their respective fdisk partitions on the same disk."
i've got native nt on scsi 0, two partitions, both ntfs. i've put
freebsd on scsi 1, a separate hdd with a single partition. i had the
freebsd installation put a boot manager on 0, standard mbr on 1.
when i restart i get the boot manager (f1 hpfs f5 disc2) but BOTH
selections boot nt.
what did i do wrong? i tried to run bootinst boot.ini from the nt
command prompt but nt won't let it access the disc. i don't have a dos
system floppy.
how can i modify the above advice from your faq for freebsd on a second
hdd?
thanks
