[nycbug-talk] XP ate my boot record

[Freeman, Joshua]

LOL

well, I reinstalled FreeBSD into the partitions I already had... installed the BootMgr.... 

that install went fine.. 

When I reboot the system now, it prompts me to hit F1 for FBSD or F2 for ??

It boots fine into FBSD but it eventually stops booting and hangs when booting into XP.. there's the pretty XP screen and a cursor arrow but not much else....

So.. I would boot into FBSD and then install GAG?

FWIW, GAG is what I recommend too.
