I am experiencing problems with the loader in FreeBSD, it worked great until I installed win2k and win98 on the machine - as these kinda redo the MBR. I reset the BSD partition active, but when i rebooted, i ONLY have BSD to boot from. I am have to set an active partition for which ever OS i want to run, this is rather annoying! I know I need to reconfigure the loader, but I have no idea where to start. Any help would be appreciated. The Linux equiv for the above is: hda1 - bsd hda2 - win98 hda3 - win2k Thanks Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
