I am not sure, but I am fairly certian, that the labels in the boot manag=
er=20
are displayed based on the partion type. So if its a freebsd partion type=
 it=20
says freebsd, fat32, it says DOS, if its XP I get ??. I assume that is=20
because that partion type is not entered into the boot manager code.=20

(Each 'partion type' has a unique identifier number, ie i think freebsd's=
 code=20
is 69 or something, its been a while since I looked at all that.)
=20
