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. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
