I had a horrible time trying to get the NT bootloader to load FreeBSD. I think the core of the problem is that the FreeBSD bootloader is not a normal bootloader (I could be wrong). My MBR kept messing up along with other annoying oddities. Reading the FAQ closely, I discovered that you have to do something different if FreeBSD is not on the first harddrive, but it didn't say what to do in that situation. I finally gave up and used Grub. David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
