Hello,
    I've just installed FreeBSD 4 on a computer that's set up as follows:

hdd 1 - Win98, Win2000, Linux-Mandrake 7.1
hdd 2 - Win2000 Server (evaluation), FreeBSD 4

This is the first time I've tried FreeBSD and I'm a bit confused as to how
to boot the system.  I chose not to install a boot manager during setup to
avoid losing my nt bootloader which I've sucessfully setup to boot
everything else.  I assumed at some point there would be the option to
create a boot floppy, but I didn't notice that step.  Did I miss something?
At this point, I'm not able to boot into FBSD and I'm hoping that I will be
able to create some kind of boot disk without reinstalling.  If I can get
into the system, I can run dd to create a boot file for the nt loader, but
until then, I'm stumped.

Thanks for any advice, Mike
