Hello,

I, a novice, have installed FreeBSD 2.1 with the Free BSD boot 
manager on the MBR. Then I replaced the boot manager with 
fdisk /mbr under DOS.

But now, every time I install the FreeBSD boot manager with custom
installation, only ONE prompt is shown before booting the kernel:
that for FreeBSD with wd(0,a)/kernel and so on.

Immediately after the original installation there were TWO prompts:
One (F1) for DOS, and the other (F2) for FreeBSD.

How can I restore that last bevavior?

Thanx - Dietmar Rahlfs
