Look in the tools folder on the FreeBSD CD for booteasy. You can load
booteasy onto both hard disks from a command window under XP.

Dear Daniel:
I have an old but very reliable Dell Dimension 8200 that's 6 years old. It
does not have a boot option for both of my separate hard disks. The only
BOOT options are: floppy, CD or hard drive. That's why I need the boot
manager solution.
Thank you.

Dear friends:
I decided to go out and buy the latest issue of Linux Format with the
FreeBSD 6 CD. I am very glad I did. FreeBSD is tough to install, but
after spending several hours I finally succeeded in doing a perfect
installation. ONE BIG PROBLEM: When I removed the CD and rebooted, I got
into my Windows XP (I have two separate disks, one for Windows, one of
FreeBSD). There was no way to get into FreeBSD. Naturally, I went into
my BIOS and changed the boot sequence from CD to Hard Drive. That only
caused my system to boot into Windows XP.
I read the instructions about the FreeBSD Boot Manager. It said clearly
that it should allow switching from one OS to another. But I did not see
any configuration for that. How, may I ask, do I do this while
installing FreeBSD? How do I change this configuration to guarantee that
all my work won't go down the toilet and that when I reboot, I will see
Lilo or whatever as a boot manager that will allow me to select either
FreeBSD or Windows?
I am looking forward to solving this and then to actually seeing FreeBSD
for the first time.
Thank you so much in advance.
Benjamin

In your BIOS, make changes so that the system boots from HDD1 instead of HDD0
