I know that this will be a simple thing I'm missing but here it goes. I have FreeBSD and XP installed in my laptop, for some reasons my XP crash so I reinstall it, and as expected the MBR was overwritten by XP. I want to recover my FreeBSD installation, I'm using the installation CD, enter in post-install options and set the BSD partition as bootable, install the FreeBSD boot manager, and configure mount points. Now I exit the install and reboot. The computer behaves the same way as before, when I boot again with the installation CD, There are no changes in the partition or in the mount points. I guess I'm missing something, I really appreciate your help. I have FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE. thanks in advance Gerardo Amaya To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
