If you can get to freebsd use the freebsd bootloader and renable it via fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 device, or you could install grub and use it. see: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot-blocks.html and http://www.pl.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/multi-os/article.html Cheers && _GOOD_LUCK_ -- Harley -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- G: GCS-- d- a?

No, you have to either tell the compiler by using "std::METHOD" or say
using namespace std; to annouce you are using std as your primary
namespace.

I reworked your script a bit, it is working for me maybe it will for
you:
#! /bin/sh
echo -n "Enter the IP or Hostname of the Server: "
read host
ping -c2 $host > file2;
if `test $? = 0`; then
echo "Server is up and working" $host
else
echo "Server is not up and not working" $host
fi
TEST:
hde{/usr/home/hde} $ ./test.sh
Enter the IP or Hostname of the Server: 193.169.1.1
Server is up and working 193.169.1.1
hde{/usr/home/hde} $ ./test.sh
Enter the IP or Hostname of the Server: 193.169.1.111
Server is not up and not working 193.169.1.111
hde{/usr/home/hde} $ cat file2
PING 193.169.1.111 (193.169.1.111): 56 data bytes

Can anyone help me and tell how to reinstall? Thanks. Check the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot-blocks.html IIRC this should work, Example 12-2. boot2 Screenshot >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: If you ever need to replace the installed boot1 and boot2 use disklabel(8): # disklabel -B diskslice where diskslice is the disk and slice you boot from, such as ad0s1 for the first slice on the first IDE disk. Dangerously Dedicated Mode: If you use just the disk name, such as ad0, in the disklabel(8) command you will create a dangerously dedicated disk, without slices. This is almost certainly not what you want to do, so make sure you double check the disklabel(8) command before you press Return. But, read through the bootlabel(8) man to be sure.
