Sorry, sendmail is a bit hosed so I don't get correct return addresses for 'CC's' so I can only send this back to the list. I Used the same method for booting NT and FreeBSD. The one problem I had was due to the fact that I had a separate disk for each OS. NT is of course on the boot drive. I copied the boot sector from the FreeBSD drive to a file in C:\ on NT and modified boot.ini...... The problem was that of course that boot sector expected to be on the second drive, not the first and therefore failed exactly as the original poster described. In the end, I just made a small FreeBSD '/' partition on my primary hard drive and now things work fine. Sorry for the laymans terms but that is the way I understand it. Please correct me if I am wrong and also let me know if I can get rid of '/' on my NT drive and keep the two OSs on completely separate hard drives. -Steve
