Well shoot me

I have no clue what happened, but FBSD is booting without me copying boot0 to the root of C:\ in XP

As per:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...#NT-BOOTLOADER

I did:

Quote:
needs to be installed using sysinstall(8) by selecting the FreeBSD boot manager on the screen which asks if you wish to use a boot manager.
The XP-partition was already encrypted with TC.

Next I was still breaking my brain on how to get boot0 out of FBSD, and so when TC booted I hit escape just to see what would happen and voila, there FBSD boots.

So it seems for some reason or so TC boot loader/manager on hitting ESC scans other HDDs to see if there is an OS it can boot

Or something like that

Anyway, this for now works, so now I will go and try to encrypt the /home on FBSD, after I have found out how to resize /home to create space for a new partition, since during install I just told the installer to use the whole disk which, on second thought, wasn't that smart. Funny thing is in both my FBSD books there's no story about resizing a partition; google here I come.
