How can i login to my FreeBSD ??

[ceramic]

After finishing the installation of FreeBSD ( version 6.2 ) om my second hard disk ( the first hard disk is in use by win xp ) , and restarting the system , my pc directly goes on xp !!! (the format of my widows partitions is ntfs )

I exactly remember that in installation process select 1sth option in boot section : " install the FreeBSD boot manager "

where is the boot manager ? How can I login to my FreeBSD ?

sorry about my english

When the system boots, it will use the boot manager from the first available disk, the other disks aren't even looked at.

You can:

a) Install the boot manager to the first partition, you can do this by booting the FreeBSD CD-ROM again and going to:
o Configure
o Fdisk
o Select ad0
o Press W
o Select Yes
o Select BootMgr

You should be done now ... Be sure to read the help messages/text, don't just mindlessly follow these instructions

b) Boot from the second hard disk (You can change this in your BIOS).

Correction: second Hard Disk, not second partition

You also can install GAG (just google for it), it will allow you to boot FreeBSD with a minimum of hassle
