The manual says this reinitializes my boot code, but does it also trash my partition table? I'd like to keep boot code relatively current, for bug fixes and others. But I don't want to trash 5G of and operating system by trying this without knowing what it does. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
