Some time ago I installed FreeBSD (4 meg version) on my 386/4meg. It installed ok but due to lack of disk space was severely limited. As a result I restored my system to the way it was (backed everything up, formatted the hard disk, restored the software). Or so I thought. When FreeBSD was installed, the boot manager would prompt me for my choice of os with the lines. F1 . . . dos F2 . . . unix Default: F1 This question seems to have survived the hard disk format and now prompts me each time: F1 . . . dos Default: F1 ie the line offering unix as an option is gone. How can this have survived the format? How can I get rid of it? I wouldn't be so concerned, but some software (specifically Emagic's Logic) is having problems it never had before I installed FreeBSD, and I'm just trying to work throught possible problems. (BTW I know 4meg is not much to run logic on but it ran PERFECTLY before). Thanks in advance for any help, Cal.
