On an attempt to recover the normal behaviour I tried booting from a Livecd and restore the freebsd boot loader MBR on my first disk doing: Fixit# fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad8 seems to write the MBR but when is asking to overwrite the partition table it is giving me an error: Geom not found... I tried several times, as well as using "fdisk -BI ad8" wich gives me the same error...
