System: FreeBSD goofy.here 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #2: Sat Aug 14 16:52:51 CEST 2004 uesr at goofy.here:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/F5 i386
>Description:
After running `boot0cfg -Bv -o packet /dev/ad0' the slices beyond
the 1024th cylinder will be displayed but are no more accessible by
the boot selector.
Using an older boot0cfg (from 5.2-RC2) does work.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Since my FreeBSD slice is beyond the 1024th cylinder I have to boot
a 5.2-RC2 rescue CD and perform boot0cfg. It works whether boot0
is taken from 5.2-RC2 or from 5.2-CURRENT (Aug 7th). The only
difference is that the one from 5.2-CURRENT beeps when the menu
is displayed which makes sense.
