Since I haven't seen any response to this, I'll "me too" it in hopes that it will get some attention drawn to it.
Not only do I have seem to somehow broken my bootblocks so boot0 beeps at me when I select "F1 FreeBSD", I am now no longer able to write new bootblocks: edgemaster# disklabel -r ad1s1 ... 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1024000 6291456 4.2BSD 2048 16384 90 # (Cyl. 391*- 455*) b: 6291456 0 swap # (Cyl. 0 - 391*) c: 117226242 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 7296*) e: 10485760 7315456 4.2BSD 2048 16384 89 # (Cyl. 455*- 1108*) f: 99425026 17801216 4.2BSD 2048 16384 89 # (Cyl. 1108*- 7296*) edgemaster# disklabel -r ad1s1 ... 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1024000 6291519 4.2BSD 2048 16384 90 # (Cyl. 391*- 455*) b: 6291456 63 swap # (Cyl. 0*- 391*) c: 117226242 63 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0*- 7296*) e: 10485760 7315519 4.2BSD 2048 16384 89 # (Cyl. 455*- 1108*) f: 99425026 17801279 4.2BSD 2048 16384 89 # (Cyl. 1108*- 7296*) partition c: partition extends past end of unit Warning, partition c doesn't start at 0!

Like I said, I can't even boot this anymore. F1 FreeBSD F5 Disk 0 Selecting F1 just beeps at me. Fortunately I can still go to disk 0 and boot via boot2.
