I'm only asking this 'cos I searched the FreeBSD mailing lists and nothing I found seems to work. It all started when I got an error trying to run top: "nlist failed". There were 2 possible issues, #1 kernel & userland not sync'd, which was unlikely since this was a fresh install, and #2 bypassing /boot/loader which I'm sure is the cause 'cos I get the message on bootup. So I tried a few things, notably "disklabel -B ad0" and "boot0cfg -Bv ad0". I rebooted after each and I still get the "no /boot/loader" and "meta data missing" errors. If I do a dir of /boot, I can see loader and a bunch of other things. I then tried using sysinstall to replace the MBR and then tried "boot0cfg -Bv ad0" but still no luck. So, I'm stuck. I would appreciate someone educating me in this regard. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
