Hi,
I just started to work with a perfectly good version of netbsd 1.0
on an ide drive, hooked it into my new P5 with an average VL based
drive controller, and I lost the boot block on this drive and on other.
Has anyone had this happen? How do I put the boot loader onto the
damaged hard drive. I can use the drive now but I have to use the
floppy boot disk to get it going. The drive is alright...the kernel is
alright...just the drive spins the propellar a couple of revs then
reboots.
Tim
