I'm one of those guys that prefers to boot into the Windows boot
manager. From there I can start Win2000 (used solely for games these
days) and FreeBSD.
So if you were to install BSD first, then Windows, and not recover your
bootsector, you would boot into Windows like I do. My boot.ini looks
like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=c:\bootsect.bsd
[operating systems]
c:\bootsect.bsd=" FreeBSD "
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT=" Windows 2000 Professional
Native Mode " /fastdetect
bootsect.bsd is nothing else than a copy of /boot/boot1 from BSD. So
from the Windows boot menu, I choose FreeBSD (or wait) and it boots BSD.
Cheers,
Frank
