Hello,
I replaced a Linux partition on my laptop with FreeBSD. Now it will not
but giving me an GRUB error. I assume I have to remove/replace GRUB, as I
will want to dual boot this with a windows partition.
So being the FreeBSD newbie that I am I am stumped on what to do to correct
this.
Thanks,
Lou

Hi,
If it's an MBR partition, you can boot from a live CD (or installation
CD and choose "Live CD"), log in as root and:
/sbin/gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot0 ada0
where ada0 is the HDD device. (Check gpart man page for more examples
and parameters)
This will create a simple boot selector where you can choose between
Windows/FreeBSD. There's also grub and grub2 in the ports but I've not
tried.
