Synopsis: sysinstall provides no way to overwrite MBR without repartitioning. State-Changed-From-To: analyzed->closed State-Changed-By: jhb State-Changed-When: Mon Dec 10 17:13:23 PST 2001 State-Changed-Why: This functionality already exists in sysinstall and has for a very, very long time. I've used it quite frequently. Simply start up sysinstall, choose Configure -> FDisk, choose a disk, then hit 'W' to force a write. It will then prompt asking what type of MBR boot loader to use. Choose which one you want and it will then update the MBR. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=28800 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
