The CMOS memory on my 486/120 had to be reset and now although the boot 
manager offers me a choice of F1 or F2 it just recycles the select 
message if I enter F2.  I can boot off the boot.flp and it accepts 
wd(0,a)/kernel and boots the kernel on the hard disk.  All the files seem 
to be there as they were before.

Any ideas on how to restore the Boot manager?  Can it be deleted and 
re-installed?  Install a different boot manager?


Help

TIA
