Something happens to the bootcode since an upgrade a while back and I've been starting this 10.4-RELEASE server at the loader OK prompt using 'set currdev=disk0s1a' and then boot. Here is the server system... root@dev:~ # gpart show => 63 41942977 ada0 MBR (20G) 63 41929587 1 freebsd [active] (20G) 41929650 13390 - free - (6.5M) => 0 41929587 ada0s1 BSD (20G) 0 1024000 1 freebsd-ufs (500M) 1024000 524288 2 freebsd-swap (256M) 1548288 20480000 4 freebsd-ufs (9.8G) 22028288 19901299 5 freebsd-ufs (9.5G) I've tried the following to install the boot code, but still ending up at the loader prompt... root@dev:~ # gpart bootcode -b /boot/mbr ada0 bootcode written to ada0 I also tried with ada0s1 with same result. Clearly I don't understand how to get this done, can someone help? -- Robert
