Subject: Fixed! //was Re: Boot stuck at F1 after swapping drive
Hi All,

I just want to give an update on the problem, I finally got more time to
look into it, and I found this:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#BOOTMANAGER-RESTORE

That was all I needed, I booted my system with the install CDROM, went
into fdisk and type "w", it asked which boot manager I wanted to
install, I chose "standard MBR", and now my system boots without the
boot0 prompt, which is perfect coz NetBSD is the only OS on this hard
drive.

There is also the "A" option in fdisk to use the entire drive thus the
booter will ignore the geometry of the drive. But according to the
handbook that was not recommended.

Thanks everyone for the help!
