I didnt install the Boot manager on the first (bootable) drive and now cant boot except by floppy. Is it possible to install the Bootmanager at this time without having to go through the install all over again? Also I assume that when the Bootmanager is installed on drive 0 it goes on the first partition (the one that has 0 - 62 blocks)? i.e. that's the one that is made active?
