Hello, I have two hard disks with different FreeBSD 8.2:
Bios loading system from ad4 and this installed to gpt FreeBSD loaded success. Now I would like to boot from ad6, but I can't physically remove first (dedicated hosting, no physical access). I create /boot.config with "1:ad(6,a)/boot/loader" and reboot the server.
This is result of trying to boot from seconds (MBR) hard disk: http://i.imgur.com/R8lmfMp.png - command "?" shown content of ad4 (I created empty file named "zzz" before reboot in the root ad6). So, how can I boot from ad6 with MBR, while ad4 with GPT still inside and connected?
