Hi all: Before I installed FreeBSD on my second computer, I had there a linux installation. Somehow, installing FBSD somehow damaged linux partitions, which resided inside an extended partition. Today I attempted recovering linux installation. I swear that I only touched the damaged partitions to install files into there. I *did not* install lilo or any other loader (set it up to load from a floppy). Well, as you might have guessed, FBSD won't boot anymore. :^( Please point me where to look for answers, why this happened? How do I repair FBSD's loader? My setup is as follows: /dev/hda1 FreeBSD (a5) /dev/hda2 Linux native (83) /dev/hda3 Linux swap (82) /dev/hda4 Extended (5) /dev/hda5 Linux native (bootable) (83) /dev/hda6 Linux native (83) /dev/hda7 Linux native (83) Sorry, I haven't learned how FBSD names its partitions. The drive is the first IDE drive on a primary controller. I think that wd0s1a is the FreeBSD's / partition. Any help highly appreciated! -- Arcady Genkin http://wgaf.dyndns.org "'What good is my pity? Is not the pity the cross upon which he who loves man is nailed?..'" (F.
