A friend of mine accidentally executed the command below with root
permissions,

# dd if=bootncsa of=/dev/sd0

The FBSD box was still running after this command was executed. sd0 is the
only hard disk in the fbsd server with 4 partitions.

	1	DOS
	2	FreeBSD		/
	3	FreeBSD		/var
	4	FreeBSD		/usr

When the server rebooted, I saw,

	Non-System Disk Error.
	Insert diskette with operating system.

I did not see the booteasy of FreeBSD anymore. I tried a FreeBSD bootdisk
in drive a: with booteasy.

	Boot: sd(0,a)/kernel
	Bad disklabel. Kernel not found.

Anyone who had the same problem as this one? HELP !!!
