I accidently did an accidental fdisk -BI on /dev/da0, which is where my 
main freebsd root is.  I meant to do it on da1 but my twiddle fingers 
typed 0 instead of 1.  I rebooted the box thinking I'd have to reinstall 
(luckily my user data is on a different drive), but the box came back up 
fine ... I was shocked.

Can I continue to use it?  Did I just not mess anything up some how?  Or 
have I messed something up secretly and even though the box runs fine a 
reinstall should still occur?

Thanks!

-Matt
