Sorry, on NT.
>Description:
I'm somewhat interested in using the FreeBSD BootMgr to boot multiple OSes on multiple drivers on one machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install NT on a drive. Move the drive to a secondary controller. Install FreeBSDD to the new primary drive. Attempt to boot NT. (could also try Win98, Linux, a different version of FreeBSD, etc.)
>Fix:
I have drive trays, so I move the drives around. Other boot manager, including Lilo and NT's can probably handle this. NT's is poorly documented but the info on multibooting NT and Linux should work; Lilo is a hack, but perhaps well documented, I don't know, I've seen a lot of docs on it, but always just barely got by with the NT boot loader. Lilo is a hack, though kind of elegantly simple/small 'cause it knows nothing about any file systems, it just knows what blocks the kernel is on...
