install touching mbr
hail, I just installed a 8.0R amd64 from memstick. when asked, I said to leave mbr untouched. when I rebooted, it was freebsd bootloader that was on control. this options is not what I think it should, or there is really a issue here ? thanks, matheus -- We will call you cygnus, The God of balance you shall be A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
