Cough! I find I must put a dos partition back on a machine I had dedicated to FreeBSD. It seems that the boot sector (I'm pushing the envelope of my limited knowlege here) is gone. The error is "no bootable partition." Everything is there (I can boot from a floppy) but no luck. I know I've seen some discussions about this but a search of the archives only gets close. How do I put the original boot stuff back? Thanks (with sighs), John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
