Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Morning all ... I have three SCSI drives in my system ... when I first built it, drive 0 was running a Windows partition for testing some apps through our firewall, and drive 1/2 were FreeBSD ... got rid of the the Windows partition and remade it FreeBSD, but now when I boot, I get: No /boot/loader and I have to type da(1,a)/kernel at the boot: prompt to boot ... which of course kills stuff like pstat -s, so I want to fix this ... To fix, I'm guessing that I have to install some sort of boot manager, but am wondering if this is something that can be done from unix, and how? Instead of having to make a DOS boot disk to do it ... Would prefer not to have to reintsall the system :) Thanks ... Marc G.
