I'd like to remove the freeBSD bootmanager.  freeBSD was installed on the 
second partition of a win95 machine, now the computer needs to be win95 only 
and they want the bootmanager removed.  I dumped freeBSD and the whole 
partition it was on, but now I can't get rid of the bootmanager.  Is there 
anyway to kill it completely, other than wiping the whole hard drive and 
starting over?

thanks
