Hi,
Hello
I have a dual boot with Windows 2000 (ad0s1 is windows, ad0s2 is FreeBSD 5.2.1). I trashed a working dual-boot somehow. Now the problem is, I get the boot menu listing both Windows and FreeBSD, but only Windows boots (with F1). Pressing F2 for FreeBSD just gives a beep.I booted from the fixit cd and ran the commands seen in the handbook:
# fdisk -B -b /hd/boot/boot0 /dev/ad0 # disklabel -B -b /hd/boot/boot0 /dev/ad0s2
For label use /boot/boot file, /boot/boot0 is for mbr.
/hd is the temporary directory I created to mount /dev/ad0s2a, so I guess my slice is still ok.
Please help!
Thanks Gautam _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
