(As reported by booting: (sd0,a)/kernel -v) I run fdisk -u /dev/rsd0 it asks me for a new geometry. Everything goes fine and at the end it asks me if it should write new partition table (not MBR?). I answered yes, rebooted , but it still reported "No operating system" even after i reinstalled os-bs. I'm really clueless at this point. Any ideas? > >> >> > >> >> Gennady B.
