Hello Uri, I experienced a similar problem during my first installation of FreeBSD 4.0. When presented with the Boot Management screen I highlighted the "no bootmanager" option and could have sworn that I toggled it with the space bar. This is the part where I obviously screwed up, because what really happened is I just hit "Enter". And so, when I rebooted after installation I was indeed using the MBR. I had to reinstall and this time I was very careful about making sure that the * was toggled at "no boot manager". After that everything was fine. I don't know if that is what happened to you, because for all I know there may well be a bug in the 4.1 release. However, it is very easy to make a mistake the first time you attempt a FreeBSD installation. Hope this helps! --Katie Lebbin ----- Original Message ----- From: <Uri.Shenderovich@lightscapenet.com> To: <freebsd-guestions@FreeBSD.ORG> Cc: <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2001 12:28 AM Subject: Installation of FreeBSD 4.1 and BootManager > Hi , > I was trying to install FreeBSD 4.1 and since I have another OSes at the > same disk > I wasn't to use the FreeBSD's boot manager. > Even though at the time of installation I toggled the options not to > install it, after the > installation finished and the computer was rebooted, I saw that BootManager > was installed and screw the previously installed manager , at the MBR. > > Is it bug or I did something wrong ? > May be somebody has similar experience ? > > Thanks, > Uri > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
