Subject:   restoring DOS partition from a tar file
Message-ID:  <200310200023.39983.kent.hauser@verizon.net>

Is it possible to backup a DOS partition (bootable) & restore it from a tar 
file? I recently had a disk failure & used dump/restore on FreeBSD partitions 
& made a tar dump of the DOS one. After "newfs_msdos" & "tar x", the 
partition is not bootable. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks, Kent
