Known bug. The boot manager was installed to the second drive, which of course doesn't help. Install it yourself by grabbing the 'bootinst.exe' and 'boot.bin' files out of /tools off of the CDROM or ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/tools. Then run 'bootinst' to put booteasy on. You'll have to do this from DOS. I assume WinNT has the same write-protected boot sector that win95 does.
