Hello All!
Unfortunatly, i was having a minor hard disk problem on my first FreeBSD
installation, and (so used to Debian) i thought i could fsck after "shutdown
now". Apparently this was not the case, as my file systems were still
mounted. After a quick re-install, with backups, it appears my MBR is
corrupted as it will not start the /boot/loader and my BIOS recognizes my
disk as a "non system disk" (FreeBSD has been re-installed, to get into the
system i use the boot2 from the bootable CD).
Is there anyway i can manually install the FreeBSD boot loader while in the
system? I figured it is dd'ing the /boot files to the beginning of my hard
disk, but i don't know what location nor how safe this is. Thank to all of
you in advance!
