Hi,
it seems it's so common knowledge to achieve this,
that there isn't any info anywhere about it.
So, I have a winxp hard disk at the end of a sata pci-card,
and freebsd harddisk straight in the motherboard ide connection.
So if both are connected, freebsd starts,
and if I take cabled off the freebsd harddisk, windows starts.
I cannot choose it from the bios that windows would make it first.
So that rules out the solution from handbook, where it's done vice
versa.
Secondly, I wouldn't want any gag or grub or any other "external"
programs;
I'm quite sure freebsd's own bootloader can do it without problems.
Question remains: how? I vaguely remember I had done it before.
Thank you for your time,
Mikko (using freebsd 5.4)

post a copy for me.
