I booted up to FreeBSD 4.5 kern.flp and mfsroot.flp floppies and first went to "Configure" then "FDisk" and told it that the slice labeled "C" should be the only bootable slice (I hit S for set bootable and an "A" appeared next to the "C.") On the following screen, instead of (what is currently set up or) the special MBR manager, I selected Standard MBR! Well I hit Q to finish, and exited the install successfully, but upon restarting my system I am still prompted with: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F3 FreeBSD F4 FreeBSD What is annoying is that F2 is really the only bootable slice, I have abandoned Win98SR1 completely... so how does one demote one's system and effectively choose to "Commit Changes" or whatever in /stand/sysinstall once steps similar to those I've described have been followed??!
