Yes, the Disk Manager overwrote my MBR without warning. Luckily, I had nothing on my old FreeBSD slice that I could not restore (i.e. I had copies of everything but the system elsewhere). As for my other problem, ie. not being able to boot 3.1-R after installing it, I was able to solve it with some hand-holding by Robert Nordier. I am now a very happy man! :-) Adam --- Want to design your own web counter?
