I am dying to put FreeBSD on my primary home machine. It currently has two IDE drives, both on the primary IDE controller, a master and a slave. The slave currently has Redhat Linux 7.1 on it. I want to put FreeBSD on the slave, and I tried it before, but after the installation was completed, successfully I presume, I was not presented with a boot manager so I can fire up my FreeBSD install. I need to install the boot manager in the MBR of the primary master drive, correct? Do I also need to install it in the MBR of the primary slave? I never understood my mistake the last time I attempted a dual boot Win98 / FreeBSD machine. Any insights would be most appreciated.
