Can anyone help me and tell how to reinstall? Thanks. Check the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot-blocks.html IIRC this should work, <quote> Example 12-2. boot2 Screenshot >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: If you ever need to replace the installed boot1 and boot2 use disklabel(8): # disklabel -B diskslice where diskslice is the disk and slice you boot from, such as ad0s1 for the first slice on the first IDE disk. Dangerously Dedicated Mode: If you use just the disk name, such as ad0, in the disklabel(8) command you will create a dangerously dedicated disk, without slices. This is almost certainly not what you want to do, so make sure you double check the disklabel(8) command before you press Return. </quote> But, read through the bootlabel(8) man to be sure.
