So if you were to install BSD first, then Windows, and not recover your bootsector, you would boot into Windows like I do. My boot.ini looks like this: [boot loader] timeout=10 default=c:\bootsect.bsd [operating systems] c:\bootsect.bsd=" FreeBSD " multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT=" Windows 2000 Professional Native Mode " /fastdetect bootsect.bsd is nothing else than a copy of /boot/boot1 from BSD. So from the Windows boot menu, I choose FreeBSD (or wait) and it boots BSD. Cheers, Frank
