In-Reply-To: <4.1.19990128203940.00932630@aire.open.ac.uk> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 2 things... first - I tried re-writing my boot blocks of my scsi drive a couple of days ago & I now get a "Read Error" on bootup. I tried both using disklabel on both my root slice (/dev/sd0s1e & the entire hd /dev/sd0a). I used just -B as well as -B -b.. -s... & I still can't get the computer to boot off of the scsi drive... I did successfully install the new boot blocks on my ide drive, using the same sort of method... My root partition under freebsd is slice e, the hard drive has 1 partition. anyway - I can still use the kernel & everything by specifying disk1 as the current device & booting off of it... but I'd like the scsi to be able to boot up by itself... so - anybody know how I can fix boot sector on the HD... It worked fine before I used disklabel on it :(... thanks, Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
