Can you boot your other opsys? I don't use the freebsd bootloader so I'm kinda guessing. You may need to see the bootloader section of the Handbook, boot off your CD and re-set your MBR: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot-blocks.html Or very carefully run fdisk from the booted CD and make sure your BSD partition is bootable. Be careful, fdisk is a highly efficient way to erase your system :-) Good luck - JB |-John Bleichert----syborg@stny.rr.com----------------| |-------------------http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg--| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
