If you have only one OS and do not care for boot manager just to boot to BSD -
try this:
1. Make sure the correct partition is 'active':
# fdisk -u /dev/da0
2. Install plain "MBR" boot code:
# fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr
3. Reboot

Okay, so I've seen this error many times and its cause has always been clear.
In this case I'm stumped. I've got a 3U SuperMicro server with 16 drives hooked
up to two 3Ware controllers. The drives are configured into two logical drives
da0 and da1. I've installed a FreeBSD 8.0 OS on da0 but whe

I've googled for this, and searched the archives, but there is too much
garbage about other operating systems interfering. I have found references
to the auto-detected logical geometry being wrong. I see no user
configurable options about c/h/s
I am trying to install FreeBSD on a compact flash drive. The drive manual
says the drive geometry is 250880 sectors, 8 heads, 32 sectors per track,
and 980 cylinders. The BIOS for the computer reports drive geometry as
980/8/32 C/H/S.
I read somewhere that this problem generally indicates a driv
