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
