Then I tried to 'undo' it but having no success I did the email thing. _Meanwhile_ I did a CVS upgrade to FBSD-HEAD (for unrelated problems). I shouldn't think this would cause the boot0cfg error though. The /boot/mbr file is pretty stable code isn't it? -- Cogeco ergo sum pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Undo MBR
I have just installed FBSD-CURRENT on a test box. During install I unwittingly installed a BootMgr entry for the second HDD (it will just be a data disk, no need to boot from it). If I do 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rad2 count=15' will this "erase" the BootMgr or will I have to redo Fdisk and etcetera. There is no data on the disk yet so this would be no hardship, but is there a "proper" way of doing what I want? Just to clarify, upon booting I get: F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 but I just want to boot straight into FreeBSD, no "dual-boot". -- Cogeco ergo sum pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Shell variables
I am having trouble understanding what is the difference between "$variable" and
"${variable}".
I have read sh(1) and understand than ${} is a "parameter" and can contain more than
just a variable, but browsing through /etc/rc I see lots of "${variable}" (i.e. "case
${svc_val} in").
Is this just for readability or is there some functional difference?
