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.

For the first time, I use them separately. 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?
