I just installed FreeBSD and I swear I told the install program not to write
the bootmanager on the hard disk. I wanted to boot with a floppy instead.
I tried a fdisk /mbr from DOS and it didn't work. So how do I get rid of
it? My setup is as follows:
1.2G(ide) drive
600M for DOS on the first partiton
600M for BSD
Thanks in advance. I still will be able to boot freebsd with a floppy right?
