Subject:   How do I get rid of boot manager?

Question, please:  A while back, on my multi boot sys, which is Win 
9x/NT 4.0 and FreeBSD 2.2.7 I believe I came up with a virus.  One 
morning while  getting on the PC I noticed my ONLY option at the 
boot prompt was F1 to go to DOS, no more F5 to go to FreeBSD.  
My question is, How can I get rid of boot easy option, the MBR and 
start over again, without destroying the functional system of Win 
9x/NT4.0, and then re-install?  It seems I remember a DOS 
command (I have also the complete DOS 6.22 on c:\) like format 
/mbr

The problem is though, and I admit my inabilities here readily, I 
don't want to wipe out the whole MBR and lose both my current 
sys functionality.  I am assuming most of you are already way out 
in front of me on this, and most of what I'm saying is probably 
redundant & bores you to tears. :)

I would sure appreciate any help and substantive advice.
