The first one: when I install -current on disk where WinXP on first slice, sysinstall brakes WinXP boot complete. I got 'Missing operation system' everytime. Even I've tried 'fixboot' and reinstall WinXP. Helps only 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 count=100' and reinstall WinXP on clean disk. When I've installed first -current on first slice and second -current on second slice I got booting only first one. I use grub and either I set root(hd1,0) or root(hd1,1) (yes, it's a second disk) and 'chainloader +1' and 'boot' I've got always first -current boot. Looks like problem with boot sector where hardcoded booting from first slice (?). The second: when I've tried to save results from Fdisk or Label menu I've got the message: 'ERROR: Unable to write data to disk ad0!' Why? I can change slices and partitions only when I boot from CD-ROM. ---- Sem.
