I have 2 disks(/drives). One installed with windows XP, and one with Freebsd. During the installation of freeBSD I choose yes to bootmanager, and made the drive bootable. However, when I power-on my computer, it simply starts windows XP and no bootmanager at all! A friendly user on IRC gave me the suggestion the bootmanager was probably installed on the freebsd disk, and not on the windows XP disk which assumingly is the 'boot drive'. And thus I went looking for a flag in the bios to set the 'boot drive' to the freebsd disk. And which of course failed. And now I'm desperately wondering what to do... Any help would be appreciated!
