I guess you didn't bother to install a boot manager when FreeBSD asked you about it, try getting OSBS from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/osbsbeta.exe It's a nifty boot selector that should let you retroactively install a boot manager so you can get to both FreeBSD and Windows. > thanks.. hope to be using this alot in our Firewall development.
