     Boot -current using the Windows XP bootloader.  Unfortunately, I
don't know of a single site with correct/complete information, but here
are two pages to get you started (BACKUP your Windows partition before
using the information in the following):

	http://bsdatwork.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=3
		(Also read the OpenBSD section for additional WinXP
		info.)

	http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADER
