Help!

I'd installed FreeBSD 2.0 and now I can't get back to DOS. I've even tried 
reformatting the disk, etc. to no avail.

When the machine starts, I get the option to :

F1 to DOS and I have ab F? prompt. The FreeBSD install seemed to go fine, but 
now I can't get to ether OS. 

Actually, I've even removed the controller cable to the drive and I still get 
the Boot Manager prompt. Did this get written to CMOS or something?

Appreciate any help
