/dev/ad0s2e /tmp
/dev/ad0sff /usr

should there not be a dos/nfts partition shown?

fdisk shows thats its still there

well df tells (at least used to, yesterday) the free disk space on mounted filesystems, and probably if you haven't manually chosen to do so, your windows partition does not get mounted automatically so df won't show any info about it. to get windows boot too you'll need to add an entry for it to your bootloader configuration (which at the moment probably only has your bsd boot configuration).

when the system boots there are two options dos or freebsd

could the mbr be corrupt?

how do i redo it?

I fixed the problem, i booted using the freebsd cdrom and went into post install - selected fdsik and then selected A next to the nfts partition and rebooted
now i have to work out the ports system
