I use the FreeBSD boot manager to select either BSD or NT. I NT, then
the NT boot manager is invoked as per normal!

The other way can be made to work but you have to "mess around" a bit
(ie. copy boot blocks, etc).

Not the "Industry Award Winning IOS" by any chance? ;-))
Sorry, couldn't help myself! A former college of mine now works for
Cisco and we can't help ourselves every time IOS is mentioned.
Btw, you don't know how to change the in/out queue sizes and number of
buffers for ISDN B-channels on a PRI card (Cisco 4000) by any chance?
Our -4000 has plenty of spare memory but I havn't figured out how to use
it to prevent the occasional queue overflow on our ISDN links. The
default in/out queue sizes are 150 and 64. It is the output queue that
overflows!
