You also havt to disklabel the device: su to root
chdir to /usr/mdec
disklabel -B sd0
And try a reboot.
But I remember to have problems with my installation (disk one is a
ESDI wd0, and FreeBSD is a SCIS sd0). I have changed the followind lines
in boot.c and add a -DBOOT_HD1 to the makefile (remove the -DBOOT_HD).
part = 0;
unit = drive & 0x7f;
#ifdef BOOT_HD1
maj = (drive&0x81 ? 1 : 2);
#elif defined(BOOT_HD)
maj = (drive&0x80 ? 1 : 2); /* a good first bet */
#else
maj = (drive&0x80 ? 0 : 2); /* a good first bet */
#endif
