You can try to do it with gpart, maybe it will like slices of your disks better :) http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-geom/2009-April/003440.html E.g.: gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot ad10s1 Be warned that gpart says back something like "partition has boot code" and it's not terribly clear what is actually meant here: "it (already) has boot code, so I am not doing anything" or "I did my job and it (now) has boot code". It is the latter :-) P.S. I have a disk that was labeled from the very start with gpart - both gpart and disklabel treat it nice; another disk was lebeled with disklabel in pre-gpart environment and then moved to a gpart environment - gpart works good with this disk, but disklabel barks the same kind of messages. I guess that this happens because gpart hasn't reset to zero offset field of the special partition c when it adopted disklabel-authored label. -- Andriy Gapon
