I'm new to freebsd (I come from linux/solaris/hp-ux). I've messed up my startup after upgrading from 9.1 to 9.2 some time ago. Today I tried to repair my foxconn amd64 small box via the command # boot0cfg -B -s 2 /dev/ada0 But if I try to boot I get F2 ? F6 PXE Boot: F1 and it doesn't do anything. If I bootstrap starting from an USB key, escaping to boot prompt, issuing a set currdev=disk2p2 followed by boot-conf does the trick. what have I missed? Thanks to all, Luciano. -- /"\ /Via A.
