The first one: when I install -current on disk where WinXP on first
slice, sysinstall brakes WinXP boot complete. I got 'Missing operation
system' everytime. Even I've tried 'fixboot' and reinstall WinXP.
Helps only 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 count=100' and reinstall WinXP
on clean disk.
When I've installed first -current on first slice and second -current on
second slice I got booting only first one. I use grub and either I set
root(hd1,0) or root(hd1,1) (yes, it's a second disk) and 'chainloader
+1' and 'boot' I've got always first -current boot. Looks like problem
with boot sector where hardcoded booting from first slice (?).
The second: when I've tried to save results from Fdisk or Label menu
I've got the message: 'ERROR: Unable to write data to disk ad0!'
Why? I can change slices and partitions only when I boot from CD-ROM.
