        F2: FreeBSD
        F3: FreeBSD

F1 brings up my W2k; F2 boots FBSD but there is a system
error swhen it tried to mount /usr. I tried by-hand. No-joy.
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? (Must I use the NT bootloader, etc?)

Looks like you have 3 root "partitions" for FBSD and one for windows. I think you are dividing the disk up to soon. You only divide ad0 into ad0s1(w2k) and ad0s2(ufs). Then in the FBSD disk labeler you make /, swap, /usr, /tmp, etc.... So to recap it seems you have made ad0s1, ad0s2, ad0s3, and ad0s4 and the boot loader asks which you what to boot from. So there is no /usr(I guess) on ad0s2, you put it on ad0s3. Print out the steps from the handbook if you need to.
