Greetings, I have ftp'd the 2.0.5 release from ftp.cdrom.com and I seem to have a problem getting the MBR installed. In previous versions you installed the MBR from fdisk (if you are installing FreeBSD on the second IDE drive as I am). The new version asks what boot manager to use. I have tried both the first and second choices, but the computer still only will boot DOS, no boot manager or F1 F5 prompt (as in < 2.0.5 releases). I can boot with the boot floppy and at the boot prompt tell it to boot from the second hard disk, then all is well (sort of). Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong??? Please respond to tom@batc.allied.com since I'm not on this list. Regards and thanks, Tom
