It's been awhile since I looked at that menu. You should indeed choose Standard MBR instead of "None". In more detail: FDISK partition editor: Don't alter any partitions :-) Press "W" to commit Confirm the dialogue that pops up Select the appropriate boot record (Standard MBR), and confirm. You should see a dialog: "Wrote FDISK information out successfully" At that point, when you reboot, you should no longer have a boot manager prompt on the second disk. -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> 50% Owner, Sysadmin SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
