    Hi,
I have a problem with my disks.
Here's the story:
I recently installed (via FTP) FreeBSD 3.2 on my second IDE hard disk.
Unfortunately, i made a mistake when i was making partitions, and as a
result, my primary HD (all of it) is marked as a active extended DOS
partition. It has the boot manager needed to load FreeBSD.
Since then, when i try to even access the disk, the kernel panics, i get a
"general protection fault" and the system reboots. This is caused by
commands like sysinstall, fdisk, boot0cfg, mount, dd etc.
   I tried to boot from a windows diskette in order to format it,
but that didn't work. I tried changing the sequence of disks (i.e. the
FreeBSD disk as Primary master and the second as primary slave, the 
FreeBSD disk as primary master and the second as secondary slave... I
tried another dozen combinations, including no HDs at all etc) but it
didn't work.
I tried changing the boot sequence, but it also didn't work.
I tried booting from a PartitionMagic floppy, no luck either.
I tried to boot from a bootable windows CD, but nothing happened.
The only way to load something other than FreeBSD is not to have the disk
connected to my system, but then i can't format it...
Does anyone have a solution how can I format my disk?
I have included my loader.conf and rc.conf scripts as well as my kernel
configuration file.

Thanks
