#lazyweb Any FreeBSD experts here?
* I installed FreeBSD on a new drive.
* I decided to _move_/reinstall FreeBSD on said drive 100GiB from the original location.
* I installed Windows _after_ FreeBSD.
* Windows decided to allocate the Reserved Partition at _exactly_ the correct place where the original FreeBSD install was. The UFS magic number and UUID are legit.
* FreeBSD loader is now trying to boot the Reserved Partition, thinking its UFS. All numbering went to hell
How do I fix the loader?
