I have tried commands like > >boot0cfg -B -s 2 ad2 and it doesn't seem to help or >boot I think what you want is: test54# boot0cfg -B -s 5 ad0 test54# boot0cfg -B -s 1 ad2 If you reboot, you should end up booting from the first slice on ad2. This is what everything looks like on one of my test boxes: test54# boot0cfg -v ad4 # flag start chs type end chs offset size 1 0x00 0: 1: 1 0x07 1023:254:63 63 20964762 2 0x80 1023:255:63 0xa5 1023:254:63 20964825 20964825 3 0x00 1023:255:63 0x07 1023:254:63 41929650 61432560 4 0x00 1023:255:63 0xa5 1023: 80:63 103362210 287359758 version=1.0 drive=0x80 mask=0xf ticks=182 options=packet,update,nosetdrv default_selection=F5 (Drive 1) test54# boot0cfg -v ad6 # flag start chs type end chs offset size 1 0x80 0: 1: 1 0xa5 1023:254:63 63 156296322 version=1.0 drive=0x80 mask=0xf ticks=182 options=packet,update,nosetdrv default_selection=F1 (Slice 1) Not exactly the same as your setup, but close. On ad4, 1 is windows, 2 is FreeBSD, 3 and 4 are non-bootable. On ad6, 1 is FreeBSD. -Glenn >Second solution: > >Stand-alone GRUB install > >How can I install GRUB stand-alone?
