The disk was on machine 1 as sd0. All of the disk is used by FreeBSD 2.1.5. There is only one partition on the disk and fdisk thinks that is the active partition. I had os-bs beta installed. I uninstalled os-bs. I moved the disk to the second machine as sd2. sd0 has winnt (bah!). sd1 is a data disk. I installed os-bs beta 8. Everything seemed to go OK. When I attempt to boot FreeBSD from sd2, I get "No operating system." I moved the disk back to machine 1. did a dos "fdisk /mbr" just to be sure. The disk boots OK on machine 1 as sd0. I moved the disk back to machine 2 as sd2. The same thing, "no operating system." What am I missing? thanks, tomdean
