Subject: Bad pack magic number?
Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

After a variety of stabs I'm continuing to have difficulty
recompiling the boot manager so I don't have to type in
"wd(1,a)/kernel" every time to boot from the second of two
IDE hard drives.

Following suggestions here I modified 
/usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/boot.c to specify unit =1 for
the drive, then did a make, then a make install, then a
"disklabel -B wd0d".  At this point I got the following error:

   Bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)

I gather I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks as usual,

Frank
