Hi Jeremy,

I've had the same experience as you.  (I also once tried the "Linux" method of doing it with FreeBSD, and that didn't work either.)  In the next two weeks, I'm going to try this again with 2.0 dual-booting with Windows 2000.

Below are links to an email thread I've turned up in my research on using the NT bootloader, it's more recent than the other one already offered:

The original poster in that thread refers to this below, which I also read:

http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/i386/faq.html#nt_boot

As he says, it's not very clear.

Hope this helps (a bit...),

Dave
