Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=iso-8859-2 Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, =20 If just found the description of how to boot a BSD from NT in the FAQ. It requires of copying the first [boot] sector of BSD native partition into a file: dd if=3D/dev/rda0a of=3D/tmp/bootsect.bsd bs=3D512 count=3D1 I don't have no rda0a device configured.. I'd like to know from which device shall I copy the boot sector. My root partition resides on /dev/wd0s2a. Is that device I shall copy the bootsector from? =09Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----- Sebesty=E9n Zolt=E1n =09There was a time when all on my = mind=20 =09=09=09=09=09was love.
