I gave BSD a dedicated primary partition and in the install told it *not* to install a boot manager or write the MBR. Anyway, it clobbered the MBR somehow or other since the system would not boot after the installation. Restoring the MBR with Win 98 fdisk, and re-installing lilo from a rescue disk fixed it all up. So what happened ? -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
