I added a slice to a single hard drive dual-boot (windows) system and now I guess that scrambled my MBR. I get three options from the FreeBSD (5.4) boot manager: 1. DOS 2. FreeBSD 3. FreeBSD I can boot to FreeBSD (the new slice is fine) by choosing option 3 but the windows/dos option is fried. My current strategy is to use boot0cfg: # boot0cfg -B But I'm a little squeemish. I don't want to be locked out of FreeBSD (I barely use Windows but I still would like it back for Visio). Any guidance? -- Peter __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca
