>Description:
FreeBSD 4.5R installed on dual PII board (2 x 450mz) on 2nd partition of the 2nd SCSI drive with Tekram DC-390U3W driver. Win2k is on the 1st partition of the first SCSI disk. (There are also an IDE disk and a Promise FastTrack66 RAID array in the machine.) 
The FreeBSD boot manager shows (oddly) F1 DOS, F2 FreeBSD, F3 disk1. On other such dual boot installs, the FreeBSD recognized Windows and it was possible to boot Windows. Here, no. 
I suspect that no one has tried a dual boot installation on 2 separate SCSI drives, so the BSD boot manager does not know how to handle the situation.
The only way to change the OS at boot time is to reconfigure the SCSI BIOS. This allows only one SCSI disk to have the boot option. 
On the nt loader, it has been impossible to point to the BSD partition. On another system with both OS's on different partitions of the SAME DISK, NT loader boots to FreeBSD when the FreeBSD boot0 file is copied to C:\BOOTSECT.BSD. Is there a way to configure or modify the BSD boot manager to boot Win2k?

State-Changed-Why:  
This problem is probably not particular to SCSI.  Please let us know if you 
are still having problems and send a fdisk da0 and da1 if possible.
