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! --Mac --KsGdsel6WgEHnImy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (SunOS) iD8DBQFCt1l81AphoTGXiN0RAi5gAJ4+n4MEpuYdSJIkMOLp/E+Mv2W86gCgl1kN 6aAxQ3pYPhiaU9pEQGgb6v4= =bfD4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --KsGdsel6WgEHnImy--
