I have booted FreeBSD from CD and used the fixit disk, but I can't seem to redo the bootloader config. I have the following drives ad4 ad5 ad7 ad4 just has 2 windows partitions on it (Primary and Extended) ad5 has a FreeBSD partition with multiple slices. boot0cfg -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad5s1a works fine. boot0cfg -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad4 doesn't seem to work. What partition should I be aiming this at on the windows drive? Also, do I need to do anything to the boot.ini in XP or does the bootmanager come in before this ? TIA, -- Wayne Pascoe Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. - Yeats To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
