Any > hints? Thanks, The boot loader is broken. Its not clear if its boot1 or /boot/loader which is broken. /boot/loader is marginally easier to replace, so lets try that first. I've left an older, working, loader at http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/loader.gz Grab it, gunzip it, and overwrite /boot/loader with it. Please let me know if that works. If it does not, please take a copy of http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/boot1 then install it /boot/boot1 and run disklabel -B <root disk> Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
