Part 1 I have an old HP NetServer LH Pro that had NetBSD 1.6.1 on it. The NetServer is a P166, 64MB RAM 2GB SCSI drive(comes up on da0) Last night I attempted to install FreeBSD 5.1-R. Everything ran smoothly until I reboot. At the boot loader screen F1: FreeBSD, I hit F1 and it went to the NetBSD screen and tried booting netbsd.gz. This is seemingly impossi Is there a way to reinstall the boot loader without the entire OS? Part 2 Ideally I would like to install grub but that is also plagued with problems. I went in to the LiveFS. Mounted my drives, created the config file and all that, Rebooted and booted off the GRUB floppy and tried to install, by issuing the following: install (hd0,1,a)/boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0,1,a)/boot/grub/stage2 p (hd0,1,a)/boot/grub/menu.cfg It comes back with "Error 22: Nu such partition". To the best of my knowledge this is correct. The root partition is on da0s1a. What am I missing?
