I was wondering if the BSD boot loader will have any problems being
installed to the boot sector of a BSD partition instead of being installed
to the MBR.  My system currently is running Windows 98 and NT and I have
always used System Commander as my boot loader.  

I would like to install FreeBSD on this system (it has some stuff that my
other BSD boxes don't) but I have never done multi boot with BSD.

If you choose to install a standard MBR will it put that on the same disk
that BSD is installed to (or give you a choice) or does it default to 0,0,1
on the active disk?  I couldn't find anything in the man pages or in the
handbook that could help me so any sugestions would be welcome.  (also if
there is documentation I missed please let me know so I can review it)

Thank You
