It's documented in the FAQ. You need to copy the first sector of
the FreeBSD partiton into a file on C:\, e.g. BOOTSECT.BSD, and
then add an entry to BOOT.INI similar to the DOS one.
The FAQ does say though that it only works if FreeBSD is on the
first HD.

But now I want to join them together so that I can choose to boot easily from any OS I want. What should I do if I want WinNT loader can have an option to boot to FreeBSD partition on the slave hard drive? Thank you for your spending time to help me.
