I have 2 partitions - a DOS FAT partition (wd0s1) and a FreeBSD partition (wd0S2) "make world" went fine with the new -STABLE sources. edited the kernel config file and rebuilt a new ELF kernel ("make depend"; "make"; "make install") - went fine updated my boot blocks (or so I thought) with: "disklabel -B wd0" (and after trouble struck, tried "disklabel -B wd0s2" and "disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 wd0" and "disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 wd0s2" without any success ...) but now, at each reboot, the machine crashes and burns with: F1 ... Dos F2 ... FreeBSD Default: F2 int=0000000d err=00000000 efl=00030097 elp=00000f18 eax=00000800 ebx=00000000 ecx=00000000 edx=00000080 esi=00000000 edi=00000000 ebp=00000000 esp=00000408 cs=c800 ds=0000 es=0000 fs=0000 gs=0000 ss=9edb cs:eip=0f 20 c0 66 a9 00 00 00-80 66 58 75 14 80 fc 00 ss:esp=00 08 00 00 02 00 87 91-00 00 02 02 00 00 00 00 System halted Needless to say, this never happened with 2.2-STABLE or 3.0-RELEASE. The MBR is OK because I can still boot into the DOS partition. Obviously I've done something stupid. I've read the handbook; the "ELF day" page, and the "Notes on the new bootblocks" page; I've tried fixing this from the fixit floppy, but right now I'm stuck with an unbootable machine. Please help!
