Question: What is the difference between the "-B" option of disklabel, fdisk, and boot0cfg? They seem to do the same thing from reading the man pages but recently I was not able to use "disklabel -B" when using the "fixit" floppy. jhb said "use boot0cfg -B". I did and it worked. I'm just wondering why there are 3 programs with seemingly the same option and if they are not the same, how do they differ?
