X-BeenThere: freebsd-performance@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Performance/tuning List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2008 23:52:36 -0000 This may be a bad list to post to for this problem but I'm having an issue where in it appears that the boot loader fails and then overwrites the MBR with 0. The system boots to : F1 - Linux F3 - FreeBSD F5 - Drive 1" Default: But then fails on "boot error". Rebooting will not even make it to the prompt above and if one checks the MBR (via a PXE boot), it has been set to 512 bytes of 0. Sound familiar? Thanks
