Then I installed 9.1-rc3 on the second half of the HD. Now when I boot the HD I only get 9.1-rc3. Winxp created mbr and installed winxp into first dos partition. 9.1-rc3 uses bsdinstall which uses gpart to create the slice as gpart show displays as see below... => 63 39862305 ada0 MBR (19G) 63 19928097 1 ntfs (9.5G) 19928160 19933137 2 freebsd [active] (9.5G) 39861297 1071 - free - (535k) => 0 19933137 ada0s2 BSD (9.5G) 0 18933760 1 freebsd-ufs (9.0G) 18933760 995328 2 freebsd-swap (486M) 19929088 4049 - free - (2M) Now I want to add BSD dual boot to the MBR.
