Hi,
I have FreeBSD installed on a second IDE drive. I have Windows NT on the first IDE drive. I would like to use the NT boot manager to boot FreeBSD.

I have read your FAQ in section 6.6 but it only tells me how to boot if FreeBSD is on the same drive as Windows NT! If I try using that 'bootsect.bsd' I get the following error: 'No Bootable Partition'


Thanks in advance,

Miguel
