Greetings- I've got a laptop which I dualboot between -CURRENT and W2k. I recently had to reinstall W2k, and in the process it eliminated my MBR. I can successfully boot into FBSD by using a boot floppy and telling it to boot the kernel from the hard drive, but this is, well, kludgy. Checking the handbook, I found the entry on how to reinstall the MBR. So, I did a 'fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad0'. The FreeBSD boot program came back, however, when I attempt to load FreeBSD, it merely beeps at me. It will, however, boot into W2k. I've tried supping, rebuilding the boot blocks (cd src/sys/boot; make install; fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad0; disklabel -B ad0s2) with no success. I was hoping that someone might have an idea, as I've exhausted all of mine for the time being. Cheers, Ryan T. Dean
