The installation itself finished without a hitch , but after reboot it turns out that FreeBSD wiped out the System Commander from the MBR , eventhough I choose the option not to install FreeBSD boot manager. I have a single IDE HD (IBM 30 Gb) and FreeBSD was installed within 1024 cylinders boundary at primary partition . The primary partition was created by Partition Magic. The first primary partition was occupied by Win98, at the 3d primary partion resided Linux and 4th one was supposed to be occupied by Solaris. As I said previously FreeBSD completely destroyed the MBR and more than this, now it's even not possible to boot FreeBSD. What I was doing wrong ? Maybe somebody encountered similar situation ?
