I'm running FBSD 2.2 -Beta as the only OS on my system. I started with R2.1.6
and upgraded to 2.2 -Beta. When I did the install I mistakenly loaded the boot
mgr. How do I get rid of it. I know I've seen several postings regarding this
topic, however I can't make it go away.
I recall someone instructing someone else to just execute fdisk -i. So, I did.
I didn't recognize what part of this I need to change. Here the info from
fdisk -i :
bash# fdisk -i
******* Working on device /dev/rwd0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=787 heads=64 sectors/track=63 (4032 blks/cyl)
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=787 heads=64 sectors/track=63 (4032 blks/cyl)
Do you want to change our idea of what BIOS thinks ? [n]
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 63, size 3173121 (1549 Meg), flag 80
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 786/ sector 63/ head 63
Do you want to change it? [n]
The data for partition 1 is:
<UNUSED>
Do you want to change it? [n]
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
Do you want to change it? [n]
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
Do you want to change it? [n]
Do you want to change the active partition? [n]
We haven't changed the partition table yet. This is your last chance.

So, what do I need to change?
FYI here's my system info (from dmesg):
