One problem with the widely given suggestion was that I didn't _have_ an dos or win95 boot disk. I did manage to dig one up, though. Turns out I had a sealed dist. of msdos 6.2! Never bothered to open it. Well, It was dated 1994, you think bill will give me a hard time if I disagree with his eula? :) Who cares. I actually own more licenses for that crap than I use now anyway. Thanks again guys. It did do the trick. What I'd like to know is if there is any possibility of getting a FreeBSD disk that boots and can fdisk the MBR? I know the code is out there, but can it all get stuck in one floppy?
