Hi Thank's for the reply. In fdisk I just said "A" and then "S" to set
bootable before "W" to write it out. I did change /etc/fstab to da1s1a
and da1s1d. When I do fdisk after mounting it it says
device /mnt/boot/mbr is not character special. Info from dos bootblock;
data for partition 1,2,3,4 is unused.
I'll try putting small dos partition first.
Thank's
Damon
