When I installed ubuntu on another partition, it overwrote BSD MBR

Now grub boots ubuntu without even asking what to boot.
When I tried to restore BSD MBR, BSD boots but linux doesn't. This is
because there is no bootable PBR in linux partition.
BTW, would it be useful to put a devel/fmake into ports to make it easy
for people with older systems to install an up to date version of
freebsd make (which groks both sets of toupper/tolower modifiers)?
Perhaps a knob to install it or put in a link as /usr/bin/make ?

Hi all,
I've tried to have a look at some of the lingering issues in our rc

looking over the archives of the list it seems that no-one is
maintaining it or reviewing patches.
