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.=20
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=3D10
default=3Dc:\bootsect.bsd
[operating systems]
c:\bootsect.bsd=3D" FreeBSD "
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT=3D" 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
