FreeBSD-multi-boot

Hello all,

I have these slices on my HDD:
- /dev/ad0s1 - Windows XP
- /dev/ad0s2 - FreeBSD/i386
- /dev/ad0s3 - FreeBSD/amd64

and I want them all in my boot.ini.

Till now I succeeded with FreeBSD/i386 (first did "dd if=/dev/ad0s2
of=boot.bsd bs=512 count=1" from FreeBSD/i386, then copied the
resulted "boot.bsd" file to Windows C:\)

I did the same trick with FreeBSD/amd64 (first did "dd if=/dev/ad0s3
of=boot64.bsd bs=512 count=1" from FreeBSD/amd64, then copied the
resulted "boot64.bsd" file to Windows C:\) so, my boot.ini looks like
this:

-------cut here------
[boot loader]
timeout=3
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
C:\boot.bsd="UNIX FreeBSD/i386"
C:\boot64.bsd="UNIX FreeBSD/amd64"
-------cut here------


Now, the problem is that when I choose "UNIX FreeBSD/amd64" from the
boot menu, it boots "UNIX FreeBSD/i386"!!!

What did I missed?
