Life was good until I wanted to add another disk. The w2k operating
system, when booted, saw the new hardware, "installed" it, and demanded
that I reboot. OK, but when I did, the FreeBSD boot manager was
trashed. Its menu looked like:
F1 ???
F2 FreeBSD
F5
Default: F#
I could not boot either operating system. In fact the only keys that did
anything were ctrl-alt-del! I removed the new hardware and using Fixit
on the 5.4 release CD, I tried
boot0cfg -B ad1
This recovered the boot manager, and allowed me to boot w2k, but FBSD
wouldn't boot. Pressing F2 in the boot menu still did nothing.
How far into the disk was FreeBSD? I had a similar problem until I
specified "-o packet"
i.e.
boot0cfg -B -o packet ad1
You could also try writing the boot manager using sysinstall/boot CD:
