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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
