I tried some more things today since I had a running system. The
"disklabel -B ad0s3" works on my system. I can't use the ntldr until I
replace the boot record used to boot FreeBSD. Once I copied boot1 to
bootsect.bsd, which is what I have in boot.ini, W2K would boot
FreeBSD. Having to replace what ntldr was using didn't occur to me
until I made the W2K partition the active one and it wouldn't boot
FreeBSD. Once I had a matched set, everything was ok.
