Is there a way to create a boot floppy for Freebsd 4.7 using the install cd?

I had my MBR overwritten and now I need a way to get back into Free!

Any suggestions?

Thnx.

use the cd to start sysinstall, i think you can create one from there

Actually, if you can boot into sysinstall, you can just install a new bootloader into the MBR. If you choose the menu option for Post-Install configuration and then the fdisk/disklabel option, you have the option to install a new bootloader after you label the disks.
