Hi! I installed PC-BSD fine and works fine but... :wink:

How can I remove the bootloader which says F1 fpr BSD F5 for others?

I don't have no others I only want BSD, It's the one I love :D

So should I boot with a win 98 cd and type fdisk or there's a more elegant way?

Thank you soo much! Your BSD really cuts the edge!

The FreeBSD FAQ suggests a way using fdisk from sysinstall:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO885 ... ER-RESTORE (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#BOOTMANAGER-RESTORE)

Choose 'Standard - Install a standard MBR' if you do it that way. (in fact it won't let you do it on a running system without setting a sysctl...)

'fdisk /mbr' from a win98 boot CD is easier. :)
