Greetings!
As a long time linux user thought I'd give FreeBSD a try. Well, 
having trouble with the bootloader. I've reinstalled so many=
 times, 
you'd think I could figure it out. I seem to get confused in the=
 part 
of the CD install that has to do with the bootloader. I use a=
 dual 
boot and I have FreeBSD on my second drive. I have, I think, a=
 good 
install except I can't access it. Is there any way to get FreeBSD=
 to 
load without reinstalling. In my humble opinion, the portion of=
 the 
install that deals with the boot manager is very confusing. Any=
 help 
or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I would really like=
 to 
see what FreeBSD is all about.

Thanks.

Regards, 
Mike
