I'm unable to get the HD to boot: - standard boot: missing opsys. - bootmanager: Default: F? or F1 (BSD) after hittin 'F1' turns to F? - bootfloppy: can boot just fine by entering 'hd(0.a)/kernel' - System workd fine under latest 2.0-snap Partition is active, disklabel -B sd0 does'nt help. FAQ and docs are no help they only speak about cases where one is totally unable to boot from hd (hopefully i missed the relevant part). What majig word have I missed ? Wonder what i'm doing totally wrong as i'm quite able to repeat this condition (about 8 installs now).
