Hi,

I've recently reinstalled windows. Windows removes the MBR as you know.
So ather I installed it I set partion 1 (FreeBSD) active and rebooted.
Then I followed the handbook and did fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad0. Now I
get the orginal screen afther booting. Only it beeps when I press F2
(Windows). I can mount the second partion on FreeBSD, but cant boot. Any
ideas to what I'm missing here?

# fdisk
******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=484521 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=484521 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:

sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 63, size 20971377 (10239 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 104/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:

    start 20980890, size 20948760 (10228 Meg), flag 80 (active)

        end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
