I always have one diskette for such special cases;). Try googling for a "RIP diskette image", that's the one I am using. AFAIR it has boot0cfg; if it doesn't, you can at least boot from it into a usable system (even MC is there!), mount your / and /usr and run the boot0cfg binary which is in /usr/sbin. Example (FreeBSD is on ad0 on first slice): #mount /dev/ad0s1a /mnt #mount /dev/ad0s1e /mnt/usr #/mnt/usr/boot0cfg -o nopacket /dev/ad0 HTH -- DoubleF Remember the golden rule: Those that have the gold make the rules.
