If you just replace the original boot program with the one that comes
with BSD, then the new boot program will always present the previous
choice as the default.  Thus you get what you want, no manually
updating the config files (whatever?) needed if you need to go to Win XP.

Just install the standard mbr using fdisk(8):

# fdisk -B ad0

Make sure that your FreeBSD slice is the only active slice, also  
using fdisk.


If you want to go back to FreeBSD's boot0, use boot0cfg(8):

# boot0cfg -B

Removing boot options and setting boot only to BSD

2006-08-08 Thread Viswas Nair

I have FBSD 6 and Win XP on my machine. I would like to remove the boot menu
options that I get and set BSD to open default. How do I go about doing this
? I intend to use Win XP very rarely and hence would want to manually update
the config files needed if I need to go to Win XP.

Thanks.
