[-- Attachment #1 --] ----- Original Message ----- From: Gemini Domino To: questions@freebsd.org Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 01:02 Subject: Boot loader CLEARING active parition flags??!?! For some reason, every time I boot into FreeBSD (dual booting with windows98), the next time I reboot, I get "Not found any [active partition] on hard drive". I have to boot with a dos diskette and run fdisk to manually reset the active partition. Any one know WHAT the heck is doing this and how to fix it? Thanks ********* "To live alone one must be a beast or a god, says Aristotle. Leaving out the third case: one must be both -- a philosopher" "The better the state is established, the fainter is humanity. To make the individual uncomfortable, that is my task."
