    hello all,

    Having had a positive experience thus far with 5.1-RELEASE and -current beyond
    that on one of the new boxes I recently built, it is now time to build up the
    dual-boot system (BSD for me, WinXP for the wife ;). I've read different
    reports (some from laptop users) about using the WinXP loader to boot FreeBSD
    and I've also read reports that people used the standard boot-easy to boot both
    (while even others using GRUB).

    Are there currently any issues with dual-booting 5.1-RELEASE and/or -current
    along with Windows XP (probably SP1)? This would be on the same physical
    disk. What do you other -current users who are faced with dual booting XP do
    for the most part?

    Thanks,

    -Jr
