I thought it might help my situation, which is that Windows NT killed my boot manager. I followed the directions from the FAQ, and a window popped up which said "An application has attempted to directly access the hard disk, which cannot be supported. This may cause the application to function incorrectly." The choices were terminate and ignore. I chose ignore, but the result was "Error 128 reading boot record from disk 0" I've been a UNIX user for a few years, but I'm a complete novice with the administration side of things, and all of it makes me very nervous. With constant reassurance from my TA, I more or less completed the novice installation, but w/o a boot manager, I don't even know how things are going on the FreeBSD side of my machine. I bought it partitioned so that NT is on C: and D: and F: was reserved for FreeBSD. Please help!
