Can fdisk be used to reinstall the BSD boot manager?
I have installed Win95 (after FreeBSD) and now I have
to use DOS' and FreeBSD's fdisk to switch the active
partitiion.  I would like to reinstall the boot manager
but don't want to clobber the current setup trying
to figure it out.

Thanks in advance,
James Card
