The following reply was made to PR i386/39952; it has been noted by GNATS. From: David Schultz <dschultz@uclink.Berkeley.EDU> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, johnhawk@rcn.com Cc: Subject: Re: i386/39952: Crashes partiton table Date: Sat, 6 Jul 2002 00:58:19 -0700 You probably have boot0 installed on your second drive. When boot0 is configured to save your last choice, it writes a modified copy of itself to whatever disk the BIOS considers to be the first one. Since the boot sector is only 512 bytes, it really isn't reasonable for boot0 to attempt to detect these sorts of configuration errors. Your only boot manager should be on the master, and you should use it to boot all of your operating systems.
