During installation, if you don't request a boot manager, the FreeBSD
partition automatically becomes the active partition.

If you already have a boot-manager installed, you can remove it by
using DOS's:

	fdisk /mbr

Before you do this, make sure that the FreeBSD partition is in fact
the active partition.

Cheers.
