From there you can run the Label editor and fdisk to modify your system. Minimally, it sounds like you'll have to use the fdisk program to set one partition bootable (remember it's "W" to write the changes to disk, in both programs), then Create FreeBSD MBR or boot manager in the following screen. -Brent To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
