hehe, no problem

I'm using RELENG_7 for the tag

I am on the freebsd-stable mailling list as well and was asked to give a little more info on fdisk.
Here it is
Code:
# fdisk ad12
******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=310101 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=310101 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 63, size 312576642 (152625 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
and from
Code:
# boot0cfg -v ad12
#    flag     start chs    type      end chs    offset         size
1    0x80      0:  1: 1    0xa5    1023:254:63      63    312576642

version=1.0   drive=0x80    mask=0xf   ticks=182
options=packet,update,nosetdrv
default_selection=F1 (Slice 1)
I even tried to reinstall the boot manager using sysinstall with no luck at all
