Subject: caveat 2.1 boot.flp is dangerous
Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk

I just used a 2.1.0 boot.flp from the cd
to fdisk (partition menu, W option)
rwd1 in a system where a wd0 was present
with a bootable system on it.

After that I get 'panic, cannot mount root'
when trying to boot from wd0.

It looks as if the partition menu has partitioned
wd0 instead of wd1 :-(

Can anyone confirm this?
