I am a system administrator at a school that has a server that once had FreeBSD on it. Since our last administrator refused to part with his login password etc, we have formatted the HD and are attempting to install new hardware in the machine. Unfortunately, we cannot seem to boot the machine any longer. I realize that FreeBSD uses "unique" boot MBRs. How do I completely uninstall it? I have unplugged all extra cards in our server, unplugged the hard drive and only the FDD remains. I have attempted to clear the CMOS, but the system still refuses to boot past the system config screen. Is this a hardware problem or did FreeBSD encode the Bios to look at a different MBR in the FDD too? Any help at all is appreciated. Thanks.
