Hey everyone,
I'm completely new to this, and I was trying to get a working dual boot of FreeBSD and OSX on my Macbook. I followed Glen Barber's instructions here. I finished the install and following his directions I used the gpart utility to attempt to modify the FreeBSD boot partition with the command "gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 3 ada0".
I was supposed to get the response "Bootcode written to ada0p3", but instead I got "Bootcode written to ada0" and now I can't boot into anything (I'm using rEFIt, and I get nothing but a white screen when I restart my computer) except using the FreeBSD install disk. I can boot back into the system with this disk and get back to the LiveCD promt, but I don't have a clue how to undo whatever I did with the gpart utility that screwed up the system.
Help!?
