Boot fails: Default F1? hangs. Trashed MBR? replaced FBSD mbr.

[Evan Dower]

sysutils/gpart is probably your friend here. It will
look at your disk and try to guess what the partition
table was. When I lost my MBR and partition table, it
was right. Lucky for me I had another disk I could
boot up on and use it from. I believe it will also
offer to write the partition table to disk. The only
thing to do after that is make sure the right
partitions are marked active so they show up as
bootable. Of course, for all know that could be your
entire problem. If fdisk and bsdlabel show everything
is in order, then be sure to check your boot/active flags.
