I tried to install BootMgr with command "fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0" and after reboot it comes up with the screen F1: FreeBSD F5: Disk 1 Pressing F1 brings me back to the same screen -- doesn't boot FreeBSD. It changed the boot code and preserved the partition table as it was supposed to. But boot code appears to be not functioning correctly? Where I am going wrong? Yuri.
