Question about booting with the NT booter.

[Henrik Andersen]

Hi,
Have a look at this link:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#BOOTMANAGER-RESTORE
It talks about restoring the bootmanager after another OS installation
have overwritten it. It is applicable to your situation since you
basically want to do the same thing.
Boot off the CD and follow the steps in the FAQ, but put the loader on
your Disk 1.

Hope this helps,
Henrik
