fdisk -B

2009-01-20 Thread Robert
the fdisk -B /dev/ad4 followed by fdisk -B /dev/ad6 from a livefs disk? Maybe fdisk -B /dev/mirror/gm0? I have backups but everything is running very nice right now. I don't reboot very often but I _would_ like to get rid of the boot manager Thank you Robert

? definitely /dev/mirror/gm0 not /dev/ad6 I was figuring that I would have to boot to single user and do this but I wanted some assurance. Thanks Wojciech for providing the confidence. All is well in the world again. Robert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
