I'd like to use XP's NTLDR to manage the dual boot process. I've
seen the following trick for Linux ( www.redhat.com/advice/tips/
dualboot.html):
- Boot into Linux, copy the first sector of the boot partition as
follows:
dd if=/dev/hdb of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
- Move bootsect.lnx to WinXP root (C:\), and add the following
line to boot.ini:
C:\bootsect.lnx="Linux"
Does this approach work with FreeBSD? Logic says it should, given
the similarities, but when has logic applied consistently to
computers?
I can't say anything about it, never done it, check google.
I did something like that once with no problem. Can't comment on the
specifics since it was a while ago but it did work.
What happens in this case, I believe, is that the Windows Boot
Manager then boots the FBSD boot manager.
