FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE and Windows XP on one system

Is there a difference between the one that sysinstall
installs and the one in the tools directory of a 
installation cdrom?

Anyway, I put the 40GB drive as Master at the end of the 
cable and the 2GB drive as Slave in the middle (everything 
jumpered).
I also read the C/H/S values from the drive cases.

Installation was ok (the 40GB shows up as ad2, the 2GB as 
ad3). But the boot prompt showed

F1: ??? (refers to XP I guess)
F2: FreeBSD

F1 didn't do anything (except blanking some characters on 
the screen).
F2 came up with a "no kernel  0:ad(0,a)/kernel" or so 
message.

And in the bloody bios I have to set the hd type to 
'none', using 'auto' nor 'user' with C/H/S lead to a hang.

So I am close to buy a new mobo this evening.

Regards,
Marc
