After, I intalled the FreeBSD witch the "Boot Manager" option. But.... 1) Ther Boot Manager recognize "F2 ??" for WinXP. 2) When i press F2, the WinXP is loaded. 3) when i made the login in WinXP, one License error occour. Then ... I made (in WinXP restore) fixmbr and fixboot commands. and I installed the OSL2000 boot manager, but the freeBSD dont boot !!! I need boot in freebsd and install the BSD boot in your slice and install one boot loader (i think Grub) in the MBR sector...
