I have NT and FreeBSD 2.1R on one disk. I was using osbs to boot either OS. Somehow the NT diskadmin program made it only possible to boot NT. I can boot FreeBSD from sd0 by using the boot floppy and selecting sd(0,a)/kernel. How can I restore the master boot block to boot freeBSD without having to completely re-install FreeBSD? I tried disklabel -B -b boot1 -s boot2 sd0, but that does not restore the master boot block where the nt loader also resides. Thank's in advance.
