Hello-From an MS boot floppy do "fdisk /mbr" - This will restore your
MBR-I have forgotten the exact procedure to restore BOOTEASY but do remember
that in the FREEBSD FAQ there is exact instructions on how to do that-You 
should have this FAQ in /usr/share/docs-Hope this will help and good 
luck     jeff phillips
