Why not choose to use the Boot Loader? Won't it then load the F1/F2 boot menu allowing the user to choose which OS they want to boot? That's the way I have my 4.8/W2K box config'd.

Hello All,
I'm having a hell of a time getting XP Pro and 4.9 on the same drive. I've tried various ways to get them to co-exist to no avail. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish;
30 GB HD total
First 24 GB = XP
Last 6 GB = 4.9
Installed XP first, then 4.9, said NONE at the boot menu during install.
There is your problem right there. You should have selected the full MBR.
Then everything would have fallen in place with none of that other fixboot stuff at all.
Just make sure your XP is fully installed first and boots OK Then install FreeBSD and select the MBR (not 'none' and not 'standard')

Actually, you should choose to install a standard MBR and *not* to use the FreeBSD boot loader in order to accomplish what you describe below.
What I want is to have the nt boot loader give the choice to boot into bsd by using the boot1 -> bootsect.bsd method in boot.ini.
Read the following FAQ carefully. If you try it and are unsuccessful, come on back here and let us know what happened.
