Removing FreeBSD Boot Manager

30 Jun

My friend accidentally installed FreeBSD boot manager during installation. Only after the installation was finished he realized that he don’t need it. He sent me a message asking a way to remove it. Actually it’s very simple, you can do that by issuing these commands below.

Using fdisk (change ad0 to your hard drive name)

1
# fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr ad0

or you can use boot0cfg

1
# boot0cfg -B -b /boot/mbr ad0

One of them might work while the other is not, depends on your FreeBSD version.
