The i386 disc1 ISO's still include "Fixit" functionality, in the usual place in the first sysinstall menu. If the required packages take up too much space for the i386 release, we will probably see a separate livefs ISO for this as well. Earlier releases or snapshots for the amd64 and ia64 may not have had the same space constraints, and perhaps included fixit/livefs functionality on the disc1 ISO. > I don't want to start install process, I want to restore bootloader. > > # boot0cfg -B ad0 You will probably need the livefs ISO. -- Wayne Chapeskie
