I think this is normal. I have a dual-boot Win2K/FreeBSD box and the NTFS partition is also represented by ???. FAT partitions show up as DOS or MS-DOS I believe. I remember looking into this also, but I think it's hard-coded. Maybe you could install GRUB and use that as your boot loader? ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Cessor" <jfcessor@cox.net> To: <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.org> Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 5:38 PM Subject: dual boot winxp and FreeBSD boot menu > Hello > I have just finished installing FreeBSD 5.1 on a second hard > drive, windows XP is on the first.
