Hello,

This afternoon I added a disk to my FreeBSD machine. And then I made a
mistake. I was creating partitions on the new disk with /stand/systinstall
(fdisk) and after that I accidently chose BOOT MANAGER instead of MBR, what
I wanted. Now my machine doesn't boot anymore. I get to see:

Invalid Partition
Invalid Partition
no /boot/loader

>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:
Invalid Partition
no /kernel

I am/was running FreeBSD 4.2. What am I supposed to do now, to make it boot
again. I DID NOT change anything on the exsisting disk. I only created
partitions on the new disk and accidently chose BOOT MANAGER instead of MBR.

 Thanks, eveything I need is on that machine so it has to work...

 Marcel
