FreeBSD Boot Manager

[Grant Peel]

Hi Mike,

I am not at all sure whate you are suggesting here?

What I am asking, is, somehting like:

Can I reboot the machine with the FreeBSD install disk, and using the 
sysinstall utility, reinstall the freebsd boot manger so I wind up with:

F1 Windows
F2 FreeBSD
F5 Disk1

-Grant
