Perhaps my earlier question was too complex and specific. I will rephrase
it a bit:
How do I boot from a kernel that is in a non-standard location on a disk
that is partitioned with the GPT scheme?
How do I tell that kernel the location of /etc/fstab?

Dear Daniel:
I have an old but very reliable Dell Dimension 8200 that's 6 years old.
It does not have a boot option for both of my separate hard disks. The
only BOOT options are: floppy, CD or hard drive. That's why I need the
boot manager solution.
Thank you.

Look in the tools folder on the FreeBSD CD for booteasy. You can load
booteasy onto both hard disks from a command window under XP.

Hi,
I have a remote server running freebsd 4.8 5.1 on 2 partitions. Is
there a way to ssh to the box and modify a file that tells which
version to run when I reboot the machine, since I can't physically be
on it.
Thank you

Instead of installing w98, install w2k into a FAT32 partition.
That way wine will have RW access to the partition and everything
should work fine.
All you have to do after you re-install is install a boot loader..
