I have Win-XP on the first and FreeBSD on the second harddisk.
What I did was "boot0cfg -b boot0 hd0" PLUS the same for hd1. That way
you get a double F1 / F5 menu (one on each disk). It's not nice but the
PRE is you can always correct your mistake if you choose F5 (while
instead you wanted to choose F1. You can kind of switch between the
harddisks.

It works great ;-))
