That's kinda my whole point. : : The -u option is certainly intended to do this. Do the parameters : actually fail to change, or is it just that boot0 still doesn't : work? The parameters fail to change. I can do a fdisk right after the first one and they are still the same :-(. fdisk -i or -u doesn't matter. If I don't do a fdisk after the first one to verify, they still don't change. : FWIW, if the disk still won't boot, and you want to send me the : first sector of the disk (MBR), plus the first 16 sectors of the : FreeBSD slice (boot blocks), I can probably work out what's going : wrong. Cool. Both FreeBSD and Windows aren't booting, so I think it is a geometry problem.
