HOW/where DO I SPECIFY THAT ad0 s1e, is the right place to boot from with out doing this manually each and every time? i haven't tried doing anything w/ boot0cfg but i figure i'm past that point anyways if i get to where i'm now getting to.. --------------050706090502020800010902 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html> <head> </head> <body> <div class="moz-text-plain" wrap="true" graphical-quote="true" style="font-family: courier; font-size: 12px; "> <pre wrap="">Please copy <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:pg@eth1.com">pg@eth1.com</a> -- as he is the person having the problem<br><br><br><br><br>any advice on the following just duped a laptop disk with dump|restore put it into new notebook i get invalid partition i get the 1st stage boot prompt with boot failure message and the expected default that failed 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader the duped drive has the FBSD slice as ad0s1e if i say at this point 0:ad(0,e)/boot/loader OR if i say; 0:ad(0,e)/kernel i can boot to my custom compiled kernel sometimes BUT NOT always i can boot with just saying; 0:ad(0,e) i have tried making a boot.config, then a boot.conf file with 0:ad(0,e)/boot/loader in there doesn't work, i still have to boot it manually by saying the exact same thing as above i've tried putting a reference in loader.conf to try to get the loader to reckognize boot.config by just specifying the file name /boot/config in loader.conf but maybe i don't have the right syntax even tried doing a disklabel -B /dev/ad0s1, i thought maybe there weren't any boot blocks, tried disklabel -w -B also tried editing the disklabel disklabel -e ad0 and tried changing the partition label from e to a but even as root the system wouldn't lemme write to the disk when editing i finished fresh out of ideas, anyone know how to do this so it boots by itself again?
