Hello,

	I had the misfortune of having to re-install Windows 95 after having 
installed FreeBSD 2.0.5.  During the installation of Windows 95 the boot 
manager disappeared.  Thus, I now have to run FDISK from a DOS boot floppy and 
change the active partition to whichever operating system I want to run.  This 
works but its a pain.  Is there any way I can re-install the boot manager 
without screwing up the rest of the BSD installation?  Thanks for your time.

Frank
