How can I re-install the bootmanager without going through the complete FreeBSD install routine, which will destroy the contents of my current FreeBSD system (as soon as the FreeBSD disks are 'partitioned')? If I reboot the system with the FreeBSD floppy disk, it won't recognize that there's an existing system present. Thanks for any and all help. Answers directly to bultman@rikz.rws.minvenw.nl please.
