I've got a machine with FreeBSD on it. Recently, I added another drive,
on which I put Windows. Given that I don't really trust the Windows
install program with my MBR, I unplugged the FreeBSD drive during the
install.=20
Now, the FreeBSD bootloader can't load windows; if I unplug the FreeBSD
drive again, windows boots up happily, but I don't much like the idea of
un-plugging and re-plugging drives to make things work.=20
The FreeBSD bootloader notes that there are two drives installed, but
picking either one of them results in BSD booting up, not windows.=20
How do I go about teaching the FreeBSD bootloader how to boot Windows?=20
("Replace it with grub" is a reasonable answer, but I'd rather not go to
the trouble, if it's possible)
Thanks!
