Hi,

This has been one of my laptops. It had three partitions
on it, the first one FreeBSD.

I have lilo installed. When I choose freebsd, I get the
normal freebsd loader:

>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT

After that, I see very fast a message scrolling
over the screen, it turns black again, and
voila, the box has rebooted.

I've killed the second box the same way. After restoring
boot0/boot1 I found that my disklables were nuked. Enjoy.

Yes from the boot blocks.

No, I just upgraded with RELENG_5_0_0 from source.
