Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk hi I read some replies to my problem and I tried to use a floppy to boot the system and do sysinstall. But I couldn't reinstall back the boot manager. There is no such option in its install menu. I think easyboot sounds like a way to go. So where can I find it? and is it hard to install and config? (thought it should not cuz it is called "EASY"boot. :)) I hope my freebsd partition is not gone. I really dont know what i did to the partition table so far. Tried to install system commander and doesn't work and uninstall it and install it again, and still didn't work. :( and then did bootinst.exe boot.bin, it told me install failed. And tried again, failed agian. :( Then tried to use boot floppy method, didn't work tried again did't work. :( I tried at least 6 times in different way to do this... partition table should already have been messed up....
