Hello,
I was experimenting with the GRUB bootloader and would now like to
remove it. Something went wrong and I must now use a bootable CD that
gives me an option to "boot to the first partition" and the system
boots fine.
man bsdlabel gives:
Installing Bootstraps
If the -B argument is specified, bootstrap code will be read from the
file /boot/boot and written to the disk.
Assuming that this affects the mbr of the who drive, I tried:
localhost# bsdlabel -B /dev/ad0
localhost# bsdlabel: /dev/ad0: no valid label found
No problem, let's try the root partition:
bsdlabel -B /dev/da0s1a
No error, it blinked the hard drive activity light and appears to
have done something but alas, it still reports a GRUB error 21 rather
than given any sign of the FreeBSD loader.
Any pointers to the rescue/install procedures applicable to this?
Best regards,
Michael Dexter
