Hello,

There are 2 partitions on my hard drive, one for FreeBSD and the other
one for XP. I had to reinstall Windows and of course it blew the MBR up.
I've reinstalled FreeBSD's boot manager with:
boot0cfg -B ad0

Now when I boot, the manager lists the 2 OS, but when I choose to boot
FreeBSD, nothing happens.

Any idea?
