Something like "Warning. Attempt to write to disk. Possible boot sector virus. Continue Y/N?" Then I have to type 'Y' to proceed with boot up. This means that the machine does not reboot after power failure. The hard disk has been used for Windows before. It might be infected . How do I regenerate the boot sector? Which FreeBSD utility should i use? Please mailto:sven@stonet.se
