        <heading>How can I use the NT loader to boot FreeBSD?</heading>
  
+       <p>The procedure is slightly different for 2.2.x and 3.x (with the
+       3-stage boot) systems.
+ 
        <p>The general idea is that you copy the first sector of your
        native root FreeBSD partition into a file in the DOS/NT
        partition.  Assuming you name that file something like
***************
*** 210,218 ****
          C:\="DOS"
        </verb>
  
!       <p>This procedure assumes that DOS, NT, FreeBSD, or whatever
!       have been installed into their respective fdisk partitions on the
!       <bf/same/ disk.  In my case DOS &amp; NT are in the first fdisk
        partition and FreeBSD is in the second.  I also installed FreeBSD
        to boot from its native partition, <bf/not/ the disk MBR.
  
--- 213,221 ----
          C:\="DOS"
        </verb>
  
!       <p>For 2.2.x systems this procedure assumes that DOS, NT, FreeBSD,
!       or whatever have been installed into their respective fdisk partitions
!       on the <bf/same/ disk.  In my case DOS &amp; NT are in the first fdisk
        partition and FreeBSD is in the second.  I also installed FreeBSD
        to boot from its native partition, <bf/not/ the disk MBR.
  
***************
*** 242,247 ****
--- 245,259 ----
        <p>If FreeBSD is booting from the MBR, restore it with the DOS
        ``<tt/fdisk/'' command after you reconfigure them to boot from their
        native partitions.
+ 
+       <p>For 3.x systems the procedure is somewhat simpler.
+ 
+       <p>If FreeBSD is installed on the <bf/same/ disk as the NT
+       boot partition copy <tt>/boot/boot1</tt> to
+       <tt>c:&bsol;bootsect.bsd</tt> or if FreeBSD is installed on
+       a <bf/different/ disk copy <tt>/boot/boot0</tt> to
+       <tt>c:&bsol;bootsect.bsd</tt>. Then edit the
+       <tt>c:&bsol;boot.ini</tt> file as described above.
