The procedure is slightly different for 2.2.x and 3.x (with the + 3-stage boot) systems. +

The general idea is that you copy the first sector of your native root FreeBSD partition into a file in the DOS/NT partition. Assuming you name that file something like *************** *** 210,218 **** C:\="DOS" !
