Date: Sat, 04 Dec 1999 15:26:50 +0100 You can boot from floppy and run FDISK, but it's irritating to boot from floppy everytime I've run FreeBSD 3.3 (I run it on my secondary disk, primary disk contains Win 95 and is set inactive everytime I run FreeBSD). Isn't there a way that when you shutdown FreeBSD it sets the first partition on your first HD active?
