MORE: I tried bootinst.exe, that blew away the NT boot code, and I still can't boot FBSD from sd0 unless I use the floppy. I also tried fdisk -u sd0, to force a bootinit. That did not work either. I hope someone out there has a thought on how I can fix the boot for sd0 other than a re-install. Thank's in advance.
