Thus spake Tonysux =A0 (tonysux999@hotmail.com):

> Ok, i installed FreeBSD today, and forgot to install the boot manager. I =
figure, i can fix it by reinstalling, but i don't want reinstall because it=
 would take a long time again. So, how would I install the boot manager by =
using a sysinstall or a fixit disk without reinstalling?  My book doesn't h=
elp and the two IRC EFnet channels arn't helping either.=20

Question is, what do you want?

What does boot _now_?

Nothing? Windows? Linux?

If Nothing, take the FreeBSD Fixit floppy and set the
FreeBSD-partition as active, using fdisk. (from Sysinstall)

If you have Windows _and_ FreeBSD and you want to decide on bootup,
what you'd like to boot, you should take a look at the OSBS
Bootmanager (that you have to install from DOS:)
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4.1/i386/installation/misc/osbsbet=
a.exe.

It is REALLY nice.
