Ok. I dropped the FreeBSD ada0s2 slice and rewrote the MBR code by MbrFix util from www.sysint.no/mbrfix Then I tried to install FreeBSD 11.0 again. Previously I used the manual partitioning and now I used the guided UFS partitioning. This time FreeBSD was installed properly without any boot issue. FreeBSD was booting straight away. After that I ran "boot0cfg -B ada0" and the boot0 boot manager is working properly again: both F1 for Windows and F2 for FreeBSD. It's much better than in my first try. There probably is some bug in the bsdinstall(8) when the manual partitioning is used instead of the guided one. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
