I assume you mean the option labeled: "Standard  Install a standard MBR (no
boot manager)".

The "no boot manager" option that you refer to means just that--- it will
not install a boot manager. You say that this worked before, but most likely
you inadvertently chose the Boot Manager option; therefore, one was
installed. The "Standard" option installs bootstrap code that is only
capable of booting an operating system on the first partition of the drive.
To rectify the problem, type

# /stand/sysinstall

as root, choose "Configure," and install the boot manager by choosing the
correct option. Let me know if you still have trouble.
