Hi,

I run

# gpart set -a active -i 2 ad0
active set on ad0s2

`gpart show` confirms that it was done.

However, when booting I get:

1   FreeBSD
2   FreeBSD

Default: 1 

(and it boots the first partition)

… and `gpart show` now shows the first partition as the active one.

Is my boot loader too old or some such?   This is a NanoBSD system that might have been upgraded since some 6.x version.


 - ask
