During installation, if you don't request a boot manager, the FreeBSD partition automatically becomes the active partition. If you already have a boot-manager installed, you can remove it by using DOS's: fdisk /mbr Before you do this, make sure that the FreeBSD partition is in fact the active partition. Cheers.
