Do you do this everytime or just to get things started?
If it's everytime, man that's a pain, if it's just to get things
started it's easier than what I did. (but now I get a list of what I
want to boot from the NT bootloader, and I just hit the arrow down to
FreeBSD and go.)

Hi, for now I am doing this every time (but I also do not
reboot too often).
GRUB has a curses-like based menu thing where you
can specify what to boot and how. You have to
set the config file during the compilation. And then
compile, and then build the floppy with that or install
on to the MBR.
Little tip for would-be grub users... I had to play with the compiler
flags quite a bit to get a bootable image. I suggest taking the flags used
to compile the FreeBSD boot loaders and using them.

Hello,
I am not sure if this exactly on topic,
but this is how I boot freeBSD partition that is installed
beyond cyl 1024
I use GRUB boot loader that understands LBA (www.gnu.org/grub)
Once GRUB boots from a floppy, go to GRUB's command prompt and
do the following:
root (hd0,3,a) # or

I recall comments (by rnordier/msmith) to the effect

I have a Thinkpad 600X here that I installed freebsd on the third partition,
but couldn't boot because of the 1024 cylinder bit, so I booted a Fixit
floppy mounted my freebsd partitions, installed this patch, patched boot1
to always try packet mode and copied it over to the ntfs boot partition
Thanks, Charlie.

Hi.
I made a patch for /sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c (attached).
This aimed to enable /boot/loader to manage 8G-OVER-Disks.
0. you need 8G-OVER-ENABLED BIOS for your motherboard
(check whether your BIOS has Int 13 Extended Interface)
How can I test this with FreeBSD which is installed over-8GB area and
can't boot?
I have a PC on which Solaris7 is installed within 8GB from the start
of disk and FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE is installed after(?) it.
The installation was successfull. But I can't boot it.
How can I install this patched
