The basic "Insert disk and press any key to continue." no boot sector found message is comming from the BIOS attempt to boot. The BIOS wants to find a DOS partition table and boot record. If you made the disk dangerously dedicated, you may have a problem. You can try the DOS fdisk command, 'FDISK /MBR'. Before you do that, post the output of the FreeBSD commands, 'fdisk sd0' and 'disklabel -r sd0' > Obviously I installed this with the controller in a non-FreeBSD conforming > state. I'd like to avoid newfs'ing the system if possible. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
