Greetings - (not a draft notice) First thanks to those who responded to my previous question.
Next... I was attempting to install 8.0 amd64 w/ZFS. I used instructions from the wiki and when I had trouble, I decided to beat a strategic retreat and just do a "vanilla" install. Problem was that either fdisk didn't recognize the mbr after all the 'gpart create'-ing or simply couldn't start newfs. (Something about not being able to find an initial inode.) I figured 'gpart destroy ad0' might fix things but no such luck. fdisk -I ad0 also errors out saying "unable to locate class". Does anyone know of a simple (brute force?) way to restore simple. standard MBRs without having to resort to a hex editor? (I will if I have to, but I'd rather not.) Thanks for any assistance...
