I tried: 1) boot0cfg -Bv -s 1 -t 20 ad2 => the boot process stops displaying "F1 FreeBSD ... Default: F1" 2) boot0cfg -Bv -o packet,noupdate -s 1 -t 20 ad2 after doing a sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 => the boot process passes "F1 FreeBSD ... Default: F1" and then stops at "can't load kernel" (boot2 I guess) -----Message d'origine----- De : Gary W. Swearingen [mailto:garys@opusnet.com] Envoye : mardi 2 aout 2005 00:30 A : Alexandre D.

But your "fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0" should have done that. I'm not sure if it has defaults that would work for you though. boot0cfg tells you what defaults it will use and lets you change them. > If I use any command line utility to restore the boot manager, it doesnt > work.

Read boot0cfg manpage; it's short. I used this once: boot0cfg -Bv -o packet,noupdate -s 3 -t 9999 ad0
