Hello, I installed FreeBSD 3.4 on a 6 GB partition , the install went ok, I
installed the first boot manager, when I was prompted after reboot, F1 ?? F3
FreeBSD, I could go into WindowsNT with F1, but when ever I tried to get
into FreeBSD it would just make a system beep.  I thought maybe it was a bad
install, so I re-installed FreeBSD again.  Same thing again, I did a fdisk
/mbr , lost all my WinNT files, ehhe , dang windows NT couldn`t even recover
the partitions that were on the drives, erg thats MS for yeh.

1. But my question is when I install again ( 6 GB partition at the end of
the drive) which boot manager should I install?

I installed regular(first choice) boot manager last time, that one didn`t
work, just gave beeps when I tried to get into FreeBSD.

2. Also how would I get rid of the FreeBSD boot manager without clearing all
MBR?

So that I can at least boot into another operating system.

Thanks

Adam Ryan
