Invalid partition table with 8.0amd64

Hi all, I've installed recently FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE amd64, just to try out new amd64 drivers for NVIDIA.

And I had these problems:

1) After reboot (use FreeBSD Boot manager) on SATA-300 600GB drive, I've seen Invalid partition table.
dd if=/pendrive/ad4.bs of=/dev/ad4 bs=512 count=1 repaired this, and addictionally:
boot0cfg -B ad4 (from 8.0amd64) destroys boot record again BUT
boot0cfg -B ad4 (from 7.2i386) creates boot sector OK

2) After fixing MBR, I had problem after starting /sbin/init
It displays: Entropy harvesting... and hangs forever
BUT if I boot with boot -s, then start /bin/sh and hit ^D to continue to multiuser - all is OK :/


And last thing (no 8.0 related I think), after installing ports:linux-f10-flashplugin10 and linux-firefox - I works OK with many sites, but trying to rewind/seek in YouTube brakes all browsers.... it is probably FlashPlayer bug (SEQV)

And one SUPERGOOD news:
NVIDIA-amd64 works GREAT with NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT :D
 
You can specify the boot0 file with the -b parameter. So you can check if it's the boot0 file that's somehow mangled or the boot0cfg utility.

Default boot0 is /boot/boot0

Completely different issue. Best to make a new thread or maybe post it in a generic flash thread ... There seem to be so many we almost ought to make a separate forum for them.
