    Dear FreeBSD Team:
    This is Frederick. Is there any table to list the partition number(subtype) or sysid?
    I have two hard disks. The first one install windows, and the second one install freebsd.
    I first install windows, then install freebsd. I use boot manager to manage my boot.

    The menu shows:
    F1: DOS
    F5: Drive 1

    I want the menu to show like:
    F1: Windows
    F5 Drive 1

    I did something. I changed the subtype in the fdisk, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14...
    but I can't make my menu just like I want.

    So please help me to find the partition number(subtype), or tell me how to do that
    to make the change.

    Please reply me to the following mail address:
    frederickpon@hotmail.com

    Thanks for your help!

    Frederick.
