For the curious, Windows 2000 _does_ overwrite the boot sector. Also, I was unable to make FreeBSD install the boot loader. I did every possible combination of things, and every time it _seemed_ like it was going to install the boot loader, but it never did until I went through an install process... :( Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
