Windows was able to boot afhter I installed it. I never touched boot.ini. The content would have been:
[boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn I now use a different solution. Instead of the freebsd bootloader (boot0). I now use the windows bootloader. I copied boot1 to c:\freebsd.bin. Then modified windows boot.ini as follow: [boot loader] timeout=10 default=c:\freebsd.bin [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn c:\freebsd.bin="FreeBSD 5" This works for me. I still wonder why the stuff below didn't work. In the past I would do this with /stand/sysinstall. But I don't dare to do this with FreeBSD 5 because of drive geometric warnings.
