I've tried b disk1, but it still only tries disk0. The = system rebooted fine after the reboot after make kernel. Mergemaster = didn't seem to affect anything dealing with boot. Don't know what make = delete-old does but the descriptions lead me to not believe it could = cause this. This system is on the other side of LA from me so its a = major trip timewise. Any ideas how this can be recovered remotely? Booting off the live CD didn't find anything obviously wrong. I = replaced the kernel with the old one and still the same error. I am = having the drive mailed to me and will work with it here. However, it = appears a new install is going to be required. The old sysinstall had = the capability to skip over the formatting of the disk by just entering = quit. It would then just replace the system components and leave = everything else alone. I don't see any obvious way to do the same thing = with bsdinstall. Is there a way to do that. I don't want to have to = completely rebuild the drive, but just replace the system.
