I have just tried to install a boot code on FreeBSD 3.1. I have tested successfully on FreeBSD 2.2.8: # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot # make # make install # disklabel -B /dev/wd0s1 The 2.2.8 system can reboot successfully. But for FreeBSD 3.1, I did exactly the same thing, except (this is because the default boot code path changes from /usr/mdec to /boot): # disklabel -B -b /usr/mdec/boot1 -s /usr/mdec/boot2m /dev/wd0s2 But when I reboot the 3.1 machine, it says "Invalid format". Any suggestions? Thanks for any help. -------------------------------------------------- Zhihui Zhang.
