next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
after hosing my win2k partition, i had to reinstall it. in the process,
of course, it wiped my mbr, leaving me bsd-less. i've tried running
tools/bootinst.exe boot.bin
as suggested in sysinstall, but i get the following output. can someone
tell me what i'm doing wrong? (yes, i've checked the archives, but
they're apparently down atm.)
$ bootinst.exe boot.bin

This utility allows you to install new boot program on your
hard disk. The usage is:
bootinst [bootfile]
It installs boot block from bootfile (default boot.bin) to the first
drive and, if second drive is present, to the second drive.
Old boot sectors are saved to bootsav.bin and boot2sav.bin respectively.

Continue with installation? (yes/no) yes
