Hi there,
 Hoping that this will help somebody else:
 Deleting the XP boot partition that came first on
disk (the FreeBSD was the last) and changing its type
to FreeBSD FS render my laptop unbootable.
 I got the prompt when trying to boot FreeBSD:

>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:

  The problem was that the new XP partition, not yet
labeled,  was still marked as bootable, as well as the
real bootable FreeBSD partition.  Flipping that flag
off repair the problem!

 QUESTION:
  
 Where I can find an explanation of the syntax for
previous prompt (boot2 prompt according to handbook) ?
  All my attempts to redirect the boot to search in
the correct partition failed.  
  Thanks a lot,
/Dorin.

PS. Please CC me, I am not subscribed to questions
