I have a new machine with two drives. The primary drive came with Windows XP installed, so I installed FreeBSD (5.4. RELEASE) on the slave. I want to dual boot using the Windows boot manager.

I found instructions in the faq:
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADER>
But it's not working.

When I select FreeBSD, the box boots to a prompt, flashing F1 and goes no further, periodically beeping.

I ran fdisk to make sure that ad5s1 was flagged as bootable and installed the FreeBSD boot manager. Then I copied /boot/boot0 to the Windows disk on C:\ and named it BOOTSEC.BSD and edited the boot.ini file per the instructions in the faq.

What did I miss?
