According to your description, you want to boot into one out of three systems (FreeBSD, a Linux, a "Windows"). In this case, you should be able to run the Linux distribution you have from a live file system CD or DVD and restore its boot manager, LILO or GRUB. This boot manager should then deal with the OS selection for boot. Of course, you can also "restart" the FreeBSD installation and choose its boot manager to be installed. I think you should be able to do this through the running FreeBSD system, maybe using the sysinstall program. The FreeBSD boot manager would then show the operating systems' names in its choice list. As I am not a "multi-booter", I'm not fully sure if this will work as intended. Usually I do just install FreeBSD's loader as there is nothing else to load. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
