When I finally install bootloader now with kern.geom.debugflags=16 trick, it works OK for me too. But not before when there was some MBR written by Windows. So, never use Windows, it is dangerous, use our protection instead. It prevents any changes. No changes - no mistakes. (perhaps just permanently unplug keyboard to feel even more safe?) Seriously, any sysadmin who try to install FreeBSD for the first time and see he can't edit partition, just throw out the CD and install Linux instead which allows anything for root in that area. -- http://ache.pp.ru/ [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iQCVAwUBQlC/G+JgpPLZnQjrAQJzjgP+OCSLQyo0Nc5aRAdYwR8gvVAUFY4wRbMf w32qswhHAy8VtcV/2GvrGkP7WTaV/+C6TAmOs5EcXZwhEB1il0IjCCkdSwY3cw1f gWUJKx6wr6kkAuY2R7oI9nHKge/an2imgcZ0H6dByH1WpzHkd2hzAAmlOwJ+0cVx K0g72czbg0M= =TMSr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
