If you can get to freebsd use the freebsd bootloader and renable it via fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 device, or you could install grub and use it. see: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot-blocks.html and http://www.pl.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/multi-os/article.html Cheers && _GOOD_LUCK_ -- Harley -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- G: GCS-- d- a?
