In my case, it was disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 /dev/rwd0s3 Prior to this I was using an older version of the bootblocks (circa Oct 1) that loaded /boot/loader. However, everything still looks the same. I still get a boot: prompt (with the help screen above it). Is there any way to find out whether the new boot stages were installed? What should I be seeing with the new boot blocks? [Part of the reason I'm asking this is that I boot FreeBSD using the NT loader, and I'm not entirely certain whether I need to update the NT loader in order to get the new boot blocks running.] PW> Cheers, PW> -Peter Thanks Viren -- Viren R.
