Hi,there: A short story is: When I boot my laptop, the screen tells me "invalida partition" and then give me the prompt "default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel". My FreeBSD / partition is at /dev/ad4s3a, so I tried "4:ad(3,a)/boot/kernel/kernel", but without lucky. Could someone tell me how should I give it the command, thanks in advance. Long story: Because my partition is nearly full, last night I delete a windows ntfs partition and try to use it under FreeBSD 7.0 Release as /home, I used to put /usr and /home together. I can not remember whether I do something stupid, I just dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad4s2 to write zero, then when I want to use bsdlabel to create new slice, but the new slice did not show up. So I tried sysinstall, still did not work. I thought it was because it used to be a ntfs partition, so I wanted to boot to windows and delete the partition. But it could not boot till now. There used to be a easyBCD soft to help me boot freebsd from the Windows Vista boot loader, but it did not appear, but a directly Invalid Partition.... Any suggestion appreciated. Best wishes, Kemian
