Hello, While doing some tests on the integrity of my swap partition recently I seem to have messed up the BSD bootstrap thingy (when I try and boot from hard drive, the computer locks solid, no boot: prompt). Luckily I have a boot disk, I can boot from the HD if I type 0:wd(0,a)kernel from its boot: prompt. I'm running 2.2.6-RELEASE and the harddrive is "dangerously dedicated". is this the correct command to restore the bootstrap? # disklabel -B wd0 As an aside, would fdisk /mbr wipe out my partition information or other such damage on a FreeBSD dedicated drive?
