I have a doal boot system now, Win98/Linux mandrake 7.02.

Recently experimented with FreeBSD and really like it. But I had installed the MBR onto the hard drive, which means I have to swap IDE cables to from the Win98 drive to the FreeBSD drive accordingly. I am moving out of Linux in favor of BSD but havent ported all my homebrew apps yet. So, I need to tripple boot if possible. That means I need to get the MBR off the BSD drive onto a floppy and use a boot loader that will work with Win98, Linux, and FreeBSD.

How do I convert my FreeBSD so it boots from a floppy using a boot loader instead of booting from the MBS on the hard drive?
