The following reply was made to PR conf/35262; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Brett Glass <brett@lariat.org> To: Sheldon Hearn <sheldonh@starjuice.net> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: conf/35262: Generation of boot block for headless operation no longer works Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 10:31:43 -0700 Is there a way to make the instructions (or ones like them) work? One shouldn't have to build the world to modify the boot block. By the way, another related problem: disklabel -B doesn't seem to work on a new 4.5-RELEASE install... even if you're simply overwriting with a fresh copy of the original boot block. Here's what happens: neo# disklabel -B ad4 disklabel: bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled) I'm not sure how to diagnose what's wrong here. (Note: 4.5-RELEASE was installed on a machine where the two available hard drives were ad4 and ad6.) --Brett At 09:35 AM 2/25/2002, Sheldon Hearn wrote: >On Sat, 23 Feb 2002 17:57:56 PST, Brett Glass wrote: > >> >Number: 35262 >> >Category: conf >> >Synopsis: Generation of boot block for headless operation no longer works > >Confirmed.
