With the "old" method, it's a simple call of fdisk and boot0cfg. With the "new" method, you need to have a boot partition, for example ada0p1, which is set active and contains the boot code, in your case, the boot manager. Have a look at Warren Block's installation guide and adjust the bootcode command for the boot manager. See the "EXAMPLES" section in the "man gpart" manpage. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
