edgemaster# boot0cfg -B ad1 boot0cfg: /dev/ad1: ioctl DIOCSMBR: Operation not permitted edgemaster# fdisk -B ad1 ... fdisk: can't write fdisk partition table: Operation not permitted edgemaster# disklabel -B ad1s1 partition c: partition extends past end of unit Warning, partition c doesn't start at 0! Warning, An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities partition f: partition extends past end of unit I've tried doing fdisk and boot0cfg even in singleuser with / mounted readonly. Is this really the way it is supposed to work? I do not remember it behaving like this pre-GEOM. > There is an erratum on "disklabel -B" for 5.0-RELEASE. So how the hell do I make it so I can boot my system again? I don't know what I/it did to make it no longer boot, but I can't. Boot0 shows me a list "F1 FreeBSD, F5 Disk 1". If i choose F1, it just beeps at me. I don't even know why it is beeping at me, because that same FreeBSD partition/slice mounts and works if booted via other methods. -- Sean Kelly | PGP KeyID: D2E5E296 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.zombie.org
