I installed DOS, OS2, Linux on the EIDE disk, and FreeBSD on the SCSI disk. I used to use FreeBSD boot manager to boot these OSes, and it worked. Then I decided to use OS2 boot manager, so I ran fdisk /mbr. I then reinstalled both FreeBSD and OS2 boot manager. But I neve quite got OS2 boot manager to boot FreeBSD. So I reinstalled FreeBSD and chose its boot manager. But the system no longer worked; I wouldn't even get a boot menu. I've tried to reinstall FreeBSD several times, but that did not help. How do I get FreeBSD boot manager to work again. I'd appreciate your help very much. Tinh
