FreeBSD BOOT

[Sidnei Rodrigo Basei]

I had installed the WinXP in one disk slace... After, I intalled the 
FreeBSD witch the "Boot Manager" option.

But....
1) Ther Boot Manager recognize "F2 ??" for WinXP.
2) When i press F2, the WinXP is loaded.
3) when i made the login in WinXP, one License error occour.

Then ...
I made (in WinXP restore) fixmbr and fixboot commands. and I installed 
the OSL2000 boot manager, but the freeBSD dont boot !!!

I  need boot in freebsd and install the BSD boot in your slice and 
install one boot loader (i think Grub) in the MBR sector...

Understand my problem ?
:-(


Sorry, my englis is bad... :-D
