FreeBSD has its own boot manager, Booteasy, which probably will not work properly in your case. If you have NT in the second partition, Booteasy will look for its boot files in the second partition. The problem is that NT will have left its boot files in the first FAT partition. I reported this as a bug, but am not aware that anything is being done to correct Booteasy. These problems vanish with System Commander, which can be bought from any software vendor.
