BOOT.INI contents...
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Server Version 4.00"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Server Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\FBSD.MBR="1-FreeBSD UNIX Version 3.4-STABLE"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\FBSD.MBR="2-FreeBSD UNIX Version 3.4-STABLE"
C:\FBSD.MBR="3-FreeBSD UNIX Version 3.4-STABLE"
Attempt #3 for the BSD's responds: [< this is the one all the material I read said to use]
Boot error
[Hitting <enter> after this takes you back to OS Loader V4.00
where I can choose again what OS config to load...]
Attempt #2 for the BSD's responds:
OS Loader V4.01
Windows NT could not start because of a computer disk hardware
configuration problem.
Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and
disk hardware.
Please check the Windows NT(TM) documentation about hardware
disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for
additional information.
Attempt #1 for the BSD's responds:
OS Loader V4.01
.
Windows NT could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<winnt root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe.
Please re-install a copy of the above file.
