https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D157698 Allan Jude <allanjude@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |allanjude@FreeBSD.org Resolution|--- |Overcome By Events Status|In Progress |Closed --- Comment #6 from Allan Jude <allanjude@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to rsimmons0 from comment #0) The 15 blocks is referring to /boot/boot2 (which is 7680 bytes). UFS doesn't use the first 15 blocks of the partition, and that is where we stuff boot2, which is loaded from boot1, which lives in the volume boot record, which it= self is loaded by boot0 which lives in the master boot record. All of this only applies to MBR. This advice has already been changed in the man page in 2012: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/geom/part/gpart.8?r1=3D230058&r2= =3D230059& --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
