I've noted a courious behaviour w/ standard boot code. I've just installed, as usual, a "real life" testing enviroment, the partition layout is disposed this way: /dev/ad0s1b none /dev/ad0s2b none /dev/ad0s1a / /dev/ad0s1d /tmp /dev/ad0s1e /usr /dev/ad0s2d /usr/home /dev/ad0s1f /var /dev/ad0s1g /var/qmail /dev/ad0s2e /usr/local/vpopmail If I install the standard boot code via sysinstall the first reboot after installation does not boot the system. It shows up a "invalid partition table" message and stops. Have reinstalled the standard boot after the reinstallation via CDROM (Custom, Partitions, (S)et the 2 primary partition Active and (W)rite information do disk. If I once again install the standard boot, the behaviour repeats on the next boot, "invalid partition table". But with Boot Manager even seting only the first primary partition active, everything works fine after pressing F1 on BootMngr. So, this layout needs BootMngr, even the system being a single-boot one. Any output would help? -- Atenciosamente, Patrick Tracanelli FreeBSD Brasil LTDA.
