Everytime I re-install FreeBSD 2.0.5 (off the CD), it will screw up the
BM of OS/2, even though I've _REALLY_ (3 times) chose to use "None - Don't 
do anything with MBR" in the sysinstall when it asks.

The BM looks like disabled but it's still set as "Startable" under OS/2
fdisk. I can bring it back by changing something (e.g., partition name), so 
that OS/2 fdisk write it and re-activite BM.
