mbr

[Anonymous]

Hi!

While installing FreeBSD 7.2 I accidentally chose to install the FreeBSD Boot Manager, where I should have chosen to install a standard MBR.

Is the command:

# fdisk −B −b /boot/mbr ad0

correct to replace the boot manager, please?

Thanks in advance...

First backup your MBR just in case:

dd if=/dev/ad0 of=mbr bs=512 count=1

The fdisk command you gave should work.

I didn't do anything yet because computer rebulding all ports still (upgrade to 8.0) but I have one question more:

boot0cfg -B -b /boot/mbr ad0

Would be with above command the same result, please?

Same as what?

I don't think so... that command is for installing and configuring boot0 images.
