Hi,
It appears that I have screwed my disk (60GB) thoroughly. I had used the
sample install.cfg for sysinstall but it has "partition=exclusive" and
not "all". I did
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 count=1k
as explained in the faq, and the exclusive partioning was gone.
I can run sysinstall, slice up the disk and install stuff. But on reboot
the system doesn't find a usefull mbr.
I can boot up a rescue disk, mount the partitions, read data stored and
use any programs installed. But I can't recover or create a new mbr with
dd if=/boot/mbr of=/dev/ad0
or with /boot/boot0, or use fdisk to manually set slices and active
slice, run sysinstall and choose a bootmanager or similar.
Please, how to I get back an mbr and a working partition table?
Thanks!
Cheers, Erik
'fdisk -B' didn't work?
