Windows, including XP, wants to boot off the C-drive (the first boot

Thanks, I tried to look at the options in the BIOS. I can enable or
disable the SATA disks.
setup A)
Master: FreeBSD
Slave: XP
If I disable the master disk I boot XP fine - although the disk is slave.
If I enable both, I get the FreeBSD boot manager with the FreeBSD as
master disk with two options:
F1 FreeBSD
F5 Disk 1
setup B)
Master: XP
Slave: FreeBSD
If I enable both, I boot straight into XP. I cannot enable both and
select to boot the slave disk.
If I disable the master disk, I get FreeBSD boot manager, but this does
not see the master disk with XP giving me no option to boot it.
So, it appears that I have to install the FreeBSD bootmanager (or some
other multiboot boot manager) on the XP disk?
It's been more than 5 years since I had a multiboot, so I'd like to know
how I can do this and still get back to the original settings. How can I
backup the existing MBR?
Thanks, Erik
