When I installed ubuntu on another partition, it overwrote BSD MBR with grub one. Now grub boots ubuntu without even asking what to boot. When I tried to restore BSD MBR, BSD boots but linux doesn't. This is because there is no bootable PBR in linux partition. When I tried to install grub into PBR on its own partition, like someone online suggested, it refused with the message that this is dangerous, etc. So is there a way to boot both linux and BSD from BSD MBR (by pressing F2 or whatever)? Are there quick instructions anywhere? I just don't want grub to take over the boot process. Yuri
