I've just bough a computer (more details in following posts). It took me a while to make FreeBSD 8.1 and Windows 7 coexist on the same (and only) hard drive. I tried to boot Windows with GRUB2 without luck, and then I retried the other way round... I mean, booting FreeBSD from Windows boot-loader.
I was googling to know if the old-copy-stage1-trick was still available in Windows 7, and I found an excellent application called EasyBCD (from NeoSmart Technologies) that allows you to friendly manage the Windows 7 (& Vista) bootloader.
I simply told EasyBCD to add a new entry (3rd button on the left), then chose FreeBSD type, chose the partition to boot and changed its label, that's all! And it worked flawlessly!
