The main boot Why does that sound familiar? ;-) I had the same problem last week and meanwhile came up with a very simple solution. There's this two step process for disk preparation during the install process. Choosing harddisk one during the first step, FreeBSD install enters the mask for changing the partitions of harddisk one, making no change there and leaving this mask gave me the question for the BootManager. I choose to install it and then it was there. I don't know if this will cooperate nicely with Windows NT but with Windows 95 it works fine in this configuration.
