Actually, I had the same thing happen when installing 7.2 on my MacBook (because 8.0-betas/rcs and CURRENT panic on boot). I selected Leave the MBR untouched and a standard MBR that only listed my FreeBSD partition was installed. I had to boot my OSX install dvd and run fdisk to fix the MBR. -- Chris ----------------------------------------- http://twitter.com/chrisattack http://chrisattack.com
