Three days ago, my Win98 crashed completely, and I was unable to log into Windows (geez, what a surprise). I took the opportunity and reloaded my machine with 98SE, but upon reboot I noticed that the bootstrap loader doesn't come up anymore, and I am now simply booted straight into Windows without being asked which OS I'd like to boot into. ALL my serious information is on my BSD partition, and I would hate to lose it all. My question to everyone is: How do I get the boot loader back without re-installing? Any help here would be much appreciated.
