For some reason, every time I boot into FreeBSD (dual booting with windows98), the next time I reboot, I get "Not found any [active partition] on hard drive". I have to boot with a dos diskette and run fdisk to manually reset the active partition. Any one know WHAT the heck is doing this and how to fix it? 

Thanks
