It's probably located in /usr/obj then, in which case you can do 'cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2' and then run disklabel. > Also, the suggestion to boot from CD if it fails is probably not a good > one. :-) If you have any of the CDROM's you can just boot up the loader, then stop the countdown and load the kenrel from the hard drive and boot. You can do the same deal using a kern.flp floppy. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
