I recently purchased a copy of Partition Magic version 3.0. I notice that
it includes IBM's Boot Manager. I'd like to use Boot Manager to control
which OS my machine boots from (I have two right now, FreeBSD and Windows
95, and plan on adding Linux to a free partition).
Anyway, I tried running Partition Magic, to install the Boot Manager, but
it will not let me perform any operations on my FreeBSD disk. The error I
get is:
Error #110: Partition table number of sectors is inconsistent
Any ideas as to how I can fix this? Please respond via the list &/or
e-mail. Many thanks!
Here's some information on my setup:
Disk configurations:
====================
wd0 (PRI MAS): Maxtor 84320D4 (4.3 GB EIDE)
Disk's actual geometry: 8930/15/63
BIOS is using: 525/255/63 (LBA)
FreeBSD (/stand/sysinstall)says: 1786/75/63

Rest of drive is empty
wd2 (SEC MAS): Western Digital WDC AC22100H (2.1 GB EIDE)
Contains: Windows 95 (about 1.9 GB)
FreeBSD swap partition (about 128 MB)
