boot manager

[Peter Vongrej]

ahoj, akurat som natrafil na moznost zobrat to z druhej strany
a to vyuzit boot manager co je vo WinXP

On FreeBSD mount a DOS-formatted floppy (if you have converted to NTFS) or the FAT partition, under, say, /mnt.
f.e:
# mount_msdos /dev/fd0c /mnt
# dd if=/dev/rad0a of=/mnt/bootsect.bsd bs=512 count=1
# reboot

Start WinXP and copy: bootsect.bsd from floppy into C:WINDOWS directory. Then modify the attributes (permissions) on boot.ini with:

C:> attrib -s -r c:boot.ini

then edit the c:boot.ini file to come up with something like this:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Windows XP Pro (or HE)" /fastdetect
C:BOOTSECT.BSD="FreeBSD"

restore the attributes:

C:> attrib +s +r c:boot.ini

If FreeBSD is booting from the MBR, you must shoutdown system and run WinXP from "Recovery Console" (boot CD compact witch "WinXP installation"), then press "R" (Repairs system), press "1" (To choose WinXP partition) and write your administrator's password. Shell will appear, in which you have to write:

C:WINDOWS> FIXMBR DeviceHardDisk0 (or else on witch you have winxp)

Attention: don't use this commands:
FreeBSD:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rad0a count=15 
DOS:
C:> fdisk /mbr
