During install I unwittingly installed a BootMgr entry for the second HDD (it will just be a data disk, no need to boot from it). If I do 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rad2 count=15' will this "erase" the BootMgr or will I have to redo Fdisk and etcetera. There is no data on the disk yet so this would be no hardship, but is there a "proper" way of doing what I want? Just to clarify, upon booting I get: F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 but I just want to boot straight into FreeBSD, no "dual-boot". -- Cogeco ergo sum --=.)Iw1XHqd8Qk,p5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/VmelTv5Mxsi/WPMRAhRZAJ92X5lzWMYAwCv7mpq3o+8wN59aWQCffHph 06p/lH3Hl6OQDTB1UGG55cA= =krXZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.)Iw1XHqd8Qk,p5--
