This is no solution. Its a work around after the FreeBSD sysinstall causes the problem. I hope you don't think this closes this problem report. -----Original Message----- From: david [mailto:davidrussell@bellnet.ca] Sent: Friday, February 24, 2006 1:16 AM To: fbsd_user@a1poweruser.com; bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: i386/71538: [install] multi-homed install trashes existing system & Freebsd will not boot [5.3beta3] similar problem but had boot magic on other portion of disk, install that and it fixes problem
