Make one up. :) you'll have to boot with the -s option on the Boot: prompt to bypass the startup scripts. Do `mount -u /' then `mount -a' to get your filesystems back, edit rc.conf, then exit. > Anthor issue is I would like to know how to disable or remove the > FreeBSD boot manager.

Run fdisk /mbr to remove the FreeBSD boot manager. The OS/2 boot manager is a bootable partition so using /mbr won't wipe it.
