So in following the "step-by-step guide explaining a typical 
installation" I read that the boot manager can be handy (sure...helps on 
my NT/DOS system)...so I "write out the special MBR (B)ootcode" which 
"does not harm any of the other operating systems....".

After (P)roceeding the first thing I am asked is to remove the 
boot floppie and reboot from the hard disk.  

F1 for dos
F2 for FreeBSD
F5 for disk1

(hit any key....)

F1 for dos
F2 for FreeBSD
F5 for disk 1

.......
Something wrong here...HELP!
