Description mark 2000-06-10 16:30:01 UTC 
	An addition of mine, docs/13207, in the System Administration
	section of the FAQ entitled "How can I use the NT loader
	to boot FreeBSD?" is incorrect. It was submitted to document
	information that appeared in a long thread on -questions,
	however, it is not possible to use /boot/boot0 as described.
	Doing so will result in a trashed Partition Table. I and
	at least 2 other people have done this.

	This patch is a re-write of the last paragraph and details
	how boot0 works, including a warning of the potential
	dangers.

	Given the serious nature of the problems that can be caused
	this should be committed ASAP.

How-To-Repeat: 
	I wouldn't try if I were you
