When the installation program prompted me = to choose a Boot Manager, I selected the second option, that is = "Standard- Install a standard MBR (no boot manager)". The problem is = that when I boot I get Grub screen with the two options mentioned above = with no clue about FreeBSD. Maybe I am in the wrong list and please forgive me if I am. I need help = on how to configure Grub or change the Boot manager so as to have = FreeBSD among the options. I've been reading the Handbook but failed to = find something that could help.
