Hey all, I just got finished installing 3.1R on my machine. However, when I rebooted, the system did not come back up as it should have. After much messing around, and after numerous tries with the fixit floppy, I finally found the Label editor and wrote the parition table on my drive. The symptoms of my problem were/are: 1) On boot, I select FreeBSD (F2) 2) It won't boot automagically 3) I have to put 0:wd(2,e)/kernel in every time I didn't realize this little mixup until after I rebooted. IT seems that during the system installation, the foot partition got put on /dev/wd0s2e?? Isn't this normally the /var partition? Anyway, I can now boot the system (although it rebooted on me the first time booting after building a custom kernel.). However, having to be there sitting in front of the machine all the time is unacceptable. Is their a way to change the Boot Loader to load the correct kernel, or to at least look on the correct partition?
