I had a similar problem after installing 5.3b7.
My solution (win2K & 5.3) was to use the ms boot manager.
To do this, copy /boot/boot1 to c:\, naming it whatever you want,
eg FreeBSD_boot1.bsd. Edit boot.ini to contain a line
like:
c:\FreeBSD_boot1.bsd="Freebsd 5.3"
In order to edit boot.ini under windows you will need to effectively
chmod it:
attrib -s -r -h boot.ini
edit it
attrib +s +r +h boot.ini (not strictly needed, but a good idea)You can restore to boot manager with the install disks/cd for windows.
Don't know whether this is the best solution or not; but it is one that works.

Ok I'm stuck...
I'm trying to get Windows XP and FreeBSD 4.10 to dual boot.
I'm installing onto a 40GB HD: 30GB - WinXP 10GB - BSD
So I installed XP, and then FreeBSD, with the Boot Manager.
Rebooted and I get the FreeBSD boot manager. When I hit F2, FreeBSD loads without problems. However when I hit F1, the computer just beeps at me.
So I installed GRUB from the ports 0.94. I was able to manually boot BSD with GRUB, but I could not figure out how to get XP to boot, it didn't recognize the partition which XP was installed when I would do a "root (hd0,0)".
I've search for a few hours now, trying to figure this out. But I'm stumped.
Would this be easier with two Hard Drives?
Any suggestions?
