--=-Q01XisZd3By6Rq3GdqKW Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi All, I just want to give an update on the problem, I finally got more time to look into it, and I found this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#BOOT= MANAGER-RESTORE That was all I needed, I booted my system with the install CDROM, went into fdisk and type "w", it asked which boot manager I wanted to install, I chose "standard MBR", and now my system boots without the boot0 prompt, which is perfect coz NetBSD is the only OS on this hard drive. There is also the "A" option in fdisk to use the entire drive thus the booter will ignore the geometry of the drive. But according to the handbook that was not recommended. Thanks everyone for the help! --=20 andrew y ng <ayn@andrewng.com> http://andrewng.com fingerprint : 46a1 29ff 893a 0381 dc81 1e1e bed8 e882 9bfc 594c --=-Q01XisZd3By6Rq3GdqKW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA95EHovtjogpv8WUwRAkBoAKCwbepAcYWSKBoYtZKjM9sO9nChYgCaA8ry KFF3V2yg8J+9spYboXu+deg= =NCl3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-Q01XisZd3By6Rq3GdqKW-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
