Hi Everyone! The MBR on my hard disk is corrupted (or sometimes is), after re-installing FreeBSD it was not overwritten and fixed even though the complete system was. So when i need to boot i use the bootcds i used to install FreeBSD and at boot0 i press any key (during rapid / - \ - spinnings) and boot my hard drive using the command "0:ad(a,0)/boot/loader". When there is a power failure, it requires me to go back to the system and repeat the process. How could i make a custom boot floppy (or even boot cd) to load "0:ad(a,0)/boot/loader" automatically, since the MBR never gets repaired (however many times i've tried). If this information is already documented somewhere, a point in the right direction will be more than sufficient, even if the information is about MBR repair and installation of the FreeBSD boot loader. I am using 4.8-RELEASE, thanks to all in advance! -Rian Hunter _________________________________________________________________ Send instant messages to anyone on your contact list with MSN Messenger 6.0.
