I don't see anything in the above boot0cfg command that is likely to
make your system unbootable. If you want to restore the default
bootstrap configureation, do "boot0cfg -B ad0". If your hard disk
is no longer bootable, you can do it this way:
1) Boot your FreeBSD installation medium.
2) Go into "fixit" mode.
3) Reissue the boot0cfg command.
You will need a "fixit" diskette or a "live filesystem" cd-rom.
See the file floppies/README.TXT in your FreeBSD installation medium.

P.S. The usual master bootstrap program is no longer BootEasy.
It is called "boot0". The source is in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot0.
