Hi,=20

I am trying to reset the bootloader of a pfSense nanoBSD CF card.=20

I need the boot loader to be reset because=20

> The embedded image set the bootloader to use a serial console.  That =
isn't necessary with the box I am trying to use (the BIOS does console =
redirection to the serial port for you) and causes the boot to hang.


Part of the solution seems to be :=20

1. Mount the CF on a FBSD=20
2. Initialize the bootloader with :=20

# fdisk -B /dev/<disk>

3. This is where I need you help=85=20


How can I re-install a boot loader ?=20

Should I use the command :=20

# fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 device


Any other suggestion, guidance will be welcome.=20


Thanks for your support.=20


P.S. I'll check your answer in 10+ hours as I am already tired and It is =
11.45 pm in Paris where I leave. ;-) - thanks for your understanding.=20
