Thanks for the reply. I tried the fix (used fixit option on 2nd
CD-ROM and used your binaries); the command I used was:
./boot0cfg -Bv -b ./boot0 -d 0x80 -f /root/mbr0.bak \
-o setdrv /root/dev/rwd0
(the hard drive / partition was mounted as /root). This generated:
# flag start chs type end chs offset size
1 0x80 0: 1:1 0x06 914: 15:63 63 922257
2 0x80 915: 0:1 0xa5 1023: 15:63 922320 109872
3 0x80 1023: 255:63 0xa5 1023: 15:63 1032192 6975360
and after rebooting, I get the menu:
F1 DOS
F2 FreeBSD
F3 FreeBSD
but I cannot get any further.
Do you have any further ideas?
Thanks for your help.
