Hmm. It looks like that error comes from the plain mbr code (/boot/mbr), not the boot-selector loader (/boot/boot0). The plain mbr only wants one partition (slice) to be active. See what fdisk has to say about your partitions. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
