First, there is the boot loader in= the first sector (MBR) of your disk. It sounds like the installer did not chan= ge that but left it alone since you are still able to boot other OS's?=20 Traditionally with the conventional MBR boot loader, you need to use a tool= to change which partition is "active" which is how you switch OS's. The second stage is that the first sector from the partition is loaded into memory and executed and this is not an MBR boot loader. In FreeBSD this is effectively "boot1", but is installed kind of carefully as the first 16 sec= tors of the partition are used, with sector 0 containing boot1, sector 1 contain= ing the BSD partition table, and sectors 2-15 containing boot2 (more or less). I'm not quite sure what your dd commands are doing as you are just reading = the first sector of the partition? It's also not clear to me at what stage thi= s is failing for you? Are you using a custom MBR boot loader to deal with choos= ing which OS you boot? Are you relying on the active flag and using a tool to change the active flag? Do you know if the boot process got far enough to = try to load from the FreeBSD partition? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
