Summary: want to boot FreeBSD from NT boot loader when FreeBSD is on 2nd disk.
Keywords: Boot, NT
X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #6 (NOV)

I have a system with NT on disk 1 and FreeBSD on disk 2. I'd liked to boot
FreeBSD using the NT bootloader and I've done this successfully when NT
and FreeBSD are both on disk 1. I've booted Linux with NT, when Linux was
on disk 2 successfully, but I couldn't boot FreeBSD from NT when FreeBSD
was on disk 2. I tried:
dd if=/dev/rwd1a of=/dos/bootsect.bsd bs=512 count=1
and
added a line:
C:\bootsect.bsd="FreeBSD"
to my boot.ini file.
I get the message "no bootable partition" when I select FreeBSD to boot.
I also tried: /dev/rwd1s1 and /dev/rwd1s1a to get the bootsector.
Anyone know what I need to do ?
THanks, Dirk
