Hi,

I've tried to add a second slice to my disk and now the system won't
boot.  I get ``Invalid partition table'' just after the POST.  I can't
quite understand why, because before I did this I had ad0s1, which
booted fine.  After that there was lots of free space.

  I added ad0s2 from a bootable mini CD -- I made it use all the
available space at the end of the disk.  I wrote the partition table and
selected to install the standard bootcode (not the boot0cfg-style one).
I didn't write any bsdlabel stuff.

  Any ideas?  I'm quite confused.
