I'd suggest installing the new boot blocks and then sending along the
following output:
#!/bin/sh
DRIVE=da0 # Change as required
fdisk /dev/r${DRIVE}
dd if=/dev/r${DRIVE} count=1 | hexdump -C
dd if=/dev/r${DRIVE}a count=32 | hexdump -C
If that doesn't turn up anything, and you want to pursue this, I'll
prepare a debug version to indicate at what stage things are going
wrong.
