Hi, I have a question on the BSD boot manager.....
I know that when you first install BSD it will configure the boot
manager for you...
But...suppose when I have a system there and messed up the 
boot MBR by some other loaders, how can I install the BSD
boot manager again without going to PARTITIONs, disklabel, 
commit .... etc, because it will make changes to my running system.

thanks!
