Looks OK to me -- you have got backups of anything important on that
disk haven't you? This sort of operation has a high risk of trashing
the drive contents if you don't get things quite right.
Thank you so much Matthew,
I just did an ls of the drive on da1. can I assume that the

I should think so. The sort of disk trashing you would experience
with those low level commands would tend to leave the drive
To deal with a standard MBR, you have to use fdisk(8). Try:
# fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr -i da1
This will walk you through the current settings interactively,
letting you generate a slice table, change the active slice and
rewrite the boot code.
Of course, just to confuse you,

I have about three different sources for making a drive bootable. well I have
a machine with two drives and the second drive is an exact backup of the
first. but I need to make the 2nd drive bootable as well since this drive
will be plopped in if the first drive
