Sorry about that.
The message was "Missing operation system"... (default MBR message)
I've looked in "partition table" (from 446 to 512 of MBR) with dos disk
editor (pq magic shows error code #110) and problem seems to be there.
I still can non understand why fdisk have wrote wrong partition table or
wrong info about beginning first partition/slice?
I've even used boot0cfg to put boot0 in MBR and disklabel with boot1 boot2
but boot manager hangs on F1.
(I shouldn't have "boot0 boot manager" for one partition should I?)
And the worst thing is that after when I've made one fat32, active
partition on this disk, move dos system on (sys a: c:), boot my backup-cd,
restore backup the system boot properly!
What is the difference between running two commands:
fdisk -BI /dev/ad0
disklabel -w -r -B ad0s1 auto
on virgin disk and used one? It should wrote partition table anyway,
shouldn't it?
Its seems to that "fdisk -BI /dev/ad0" is not creating proper partition
table, right?
confused
