hi, currently i am asking myself whether my backup strategy is ok or not. i use to dump my filesystems (/, /usr, /var, /tmp) onto another disk of which i build an image to record a cd. in case of a diskfailure i replace the system disk, partition and label it, restore the filesystems onto it and everything is going to be fine. however, of course, there are no bootblocks on the new disk. how can i make my disk bootable? is it enough to simply 'disklabel -B' da0 for example? or is there a similar program to installboot (i use to use under solaris). i am using freebsd 3.1 and 3.2 any hints are welcome, regards, anderl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
