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.
