Something has happened to my drive containing
2.2.6R. When booting from the HD, I get this
error message, repeated to nausea:

Error: D: 0xfffffff0 C:0 H:0 S:0

When booting from a floppy, and choosing the
same HD drive with kernel, it boots perfectly.

Boot-block blues if you ask me - how do I write
a new FreeBSD boot-block to the drive?

I tried "upgrading an existing system"-ing it, but
this didn't do anything nice.

Any help would, as always, be greatly appreciated.
