Hi all,

I have, what I hope to be, a simple question.

I have a server with two hard drives. SCSI. Using driver da.

When I originaly installed FreeBSD (4.7). I am sure I made bot disks
bootable.

I rsync the forst drive to the second every time I update the OS.

My question is:

Is there a way, from the command line, that I can check file etc to see if
the second drive is indeed bootable in the event the first drive dies.
(Bootable after I change the boot device in BIOS of course).

I live 200 miles from the server, so sitting at the console changing back
and forth testing is not practical.
