Interresting thing: After all this (even restore), I launched sysinstall. I went in the fdisk section, selected the right disk, the right slice and pressed S (toggle bottable flags), then w (write changes) and q to quit. Then I choosed the "Install the FreeBSD Boot Manager". Now it works. It boots from the second disk.
I don't understand what went wrong in my script. What do I forget? Do you understand?? cheers -----Message d'origine----- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] la part de Giorgos Keramidas Envoye : lundi 1 aout 2005 19:06 A : Alexandre D. Cc : Gary W.

Also, can you try running boot0cfg on the destination disk, as a final step, before trying to boot from it? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
