You can do this by following these steps: - boot up into the installation - from the main menu, choose 'Configure' - from the Configure menu, choose 'Fdisk' - Choose your first hard drive in the list (probably ad0) - When you get into the slice editor, hit 'W' for the Write command. - When it asks if you are sure, say yes. - Choose the Boot Manager option. - Back in the slice editor, hit 'Q' to exit. - Just ignore when it asks you about the boot manager again adn hit enter. - Exit sysinstall and reboot. You should now be fine. > Thanks for any help. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
