Where "it's" probably refers to "boot code", not to the MBR, which doesn't look for anything except the confusingly-named "first-stage" boot loader (same as /boot/boot1) in the first sector of your 4th primary partition. Then that loads the second-stage boot loader (same as /boot/boot2) which gives the "boot:" prompt after failing to run /boot/loader and failing to run a kernel. It seems that finding boot1 and boot2 is possible with bad geometry, but finding /boot/loader or the kernel is not. ??? _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
