Subject: Re: i386/61005: The Boot Manager in FreeBSD 5.2RC can't boot FreeBSD

---------- original message -------------
I use "boot0cfg -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad0" to reinstall the boot manager in
FreeBSD 5.2RC, after I reboot my box, the boot manager shows:
F1 BSD
F2 FreeBSD
F3 Linux
I press F1, the boot manager can load NetBSD correctly, and when I press F2
and F3 it can't load the operation system, and boot manager doesn't report any
message about this.
----------------------------------------------
Similar problem exists in 5.2 and 5.2.1-RC2.
Below is a list of disks in one of my system. During the installation,
only da0 is selected for installation, and boot prompt shows:
F1 FreeBSD
F5 FreeBSD
Press F1 key has error: "no /boot/kernel/kernel" found.
Reinstalled it many times without success. So, tried to press F5 then F1.
Same error. F5-F5-F1 made final boot. Well, what happened is that
somehow, boot manager is installed on all three drives, but bootable
block is on the third drive rather than on the first drive.
