Sorry for the late post on this subject, just getting thru some backlog.
If someone has already mentioned boot0cfg then pls ignore, otherwise I
found boot0cfg a very useful tool to create my disk1 boot sector. Mind you
this is on 3.2, unsure of 4.0.
From a previous post:
BOOT FREEBSD FROM NTLDR
spindle 0: ptn 1: FAT drive C:, NTLDR, BOOT.INI.
: ptn 2: NTFS
spindle 1: ptn 1: FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE, da1s1a, da1s1b
: ptn 2: NTFS
When I installed FreeBSD I chose not to alter the MBR.
My BOOT.INI for bsd reads:
C:\BOOTSECT.BSD="FreeBSD 3.2"
I created BOOTSECT.BSD thus:
* ensure you have a backup of MBR and PBS from both disks.
I used the NTRESKIT DISKSAVE when booted from a DOS floppy.
Good idea if you have FAT/NTFS to have a DOS boot floppy with
DISKSAVE, NTFSDOS etc, and a copy of all the various boot sectors.
* boot into FreeBSD by whatever means.
* as root,
boot0cfg -v -B -d 0x81 -o noupdate,setdrv -f /tmp/BOOTSECT.BSD -t 1 da1
I ran this twice to get a copy of the new MBR1 into /tmp/BOOTSECT.BSD
* copy /tmp/BOOTSECT.BSD to C:\BOOTSECT.BSD by whatever means.
* reboot.
regards, taras
