Apologies for my lack of Russian. Win2000's bootloader can boot FreeBSD, and FreeBSD's bootloader can boot Win2000. See <URL: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859- 1/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADER> and <URL: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install- steps.html>, section 2.5.4. Jud
