I just CVSuped the machine to 3.1-STABLE, did buildworld, and did installworld. Then I just, # /sbin/disklabel -B wd0s3 However, I still had the same menu greeting me at reboot. BTW, I made a little error above. The menu was _exactly,_ F1 DOS F2 DOS F3 FreeBSD F5 Disk 0 Default: F3 It then started to beep at me, and I had to enter 'F5' at which point I got the menu again without the 'Disk 0' entry and FreeBSD booted fine. -- Crist J.
