I already did that. as I told you, when I use sysinstall instead of fdisk, there is no problem. I tried every combination: fdisk -I ad3 && fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr ad3 fdisk -I ad3 && fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad3 fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr -I ad3 ... the disk doesn't boot. I also tried to install grub. It doesn't work either. cheers Selon Giorgos Keramidas <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr>: > On 2005-08-01 09:20, alexandre.delay@free.fr wrote: > > Hi guys > > > > I saw a post on > > > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-October/023454.html > > > > I am actually trying to migrate from one disk to an other. > > I need to write a script to do it with several computers. > > > > The thing is that it works perfectly when I use the fdisk's > /stand/sysinstall > > and mbr installation, but doesn't work if I use: > > fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr -I ad3 (or fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 -I ad3) > > Try two steps: > > fdisk -I ad3 > fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr ad3 > > Then, of course, you need to create a disk label with bsdlabel too and > make sure you newfs the partitions, etc. > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
