I'm having a little problem trying to dual boot. I have two SATA hard drives, the first one with FreeBSD and the second with Windows XP. I installed the FreeBSD boot manager on the first drive, and when the computer boots, it displays: F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 When I press F5, FreeBSD loads and not Windows. I know Windows is working because when I disconnect the first drive, Windows boots from the second just fine. I've tried using boot0cfg to reload the boot manager, but that doesn't help. The simplest thing to do would be to specify that F5 boots Windows, but I can't find anything. Is this configuration even possible? Or does Windows just make it impossible to boot from the second disk? -- Sam Jones sjone9ek@umw.edu samjones1986@gmail.com
