I intended to leave the obligatory windows 7. I shrunk the primary windows partition and installed FreeBSD. I never got an option to install the multi-partition boot record. Rather the install overwrote the MBR with a boot record to boot FreeBSD. While I appreciate the irony is there a way to make that option appear or is the only solution to rewrite it after the fact?
