I installed the boot loader on ad3 when I was first setting up FreeBSD. I added it to my first drive later, using an online example.=20 However, I'm pretty certain that somewhere along the way I did something wrong. So, if someone can start me from the beginning, how do I remove the current boot loaders from both partitions, and add them back correctly?=20 Here is my current fstab: # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad3s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad3s2a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad3s2g /home ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad3s2e /tmp ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad3s2f /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad3s2d /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 > Should be no problem, unless RAID is involved. Well, I do have IDE RAID on that motherboad, but its not involved with either of the boot devices (its strictly for archives).
