Please update the following section: Section 9.10 How can I use the NT loader to boot FreeBSD?

For windows 2000 Server, the correct commands to modify the attributes for boot.ini are:

attrib -h -s c:\boot.ini

and

attrib +s +h c:\boot.ini

I'm not sure if the order of the arguments is important, but that's the order I used.

Otherwise the procedure works great for dual booting FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE and Windows 2000 Server.

The only attributes set are H and S.  The file is not marked readonly.

-- Scott






>How-To-Repeat:
1) Install Windows 2000 Server

2) log in as Administrator

3) Start Command Prompt window

4) Enter command 'attrib -s -r c:\boot.ini'

The command fails.

 The error message from the attrib command is 'Not resetting hidden file'.

That section has been rewritten, and we don't talk about the attrib 
command any more.  Thanks for taking the time to improve FreeBSD.
