The reason I'm asking where the FreeBSD boot manager is because I need to get rid of it, make it go away. This is not because I'm displeased with FreeBSD as an operating system but due to the fact that I'm limited to a 56k dial up and too broke to spend any money at this time on the very reasonably priced CD set. This being the situation and a friend having loaned me a Linux distribution, I opted to scrub, for now the FreeBSD partition and load Linux. Upon scrubbing the non-DOS partition, the boot manager still remains and it won't allow booting to Linux and appears to be interfering with the Linux boot manager. For now I'm using the 30 day demo of BootIt, and I'd like to resolve this boot manager issue before the 30 days are up. I must say I'm impressed with what FreeBSD has to offer and will try a serious full blown install some day. Thank you for any help/suggestions on this matter, John Hofstetter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
