Hello, hope this is the right place for my question. I've written a boot manager that supports DOS, Linux and of course FreeBSD partitions. Unfortunately I don't know anything about the FreeBSD boot process. I just look for a partition id of 0xa5 and if it has the bootable flag set I load its first sector and jump to it. It works for DOS and for Linux (except that Linux doesn't set bootable flags so you have to set it manually using fdisk). Could you please tell me more about the way FreeBSD boots? Just in case you might be interested, the url is http://home.t-online.de/home/hilgardth/ Follow the boot manager link. Thanx. Bye, Adrian. ------------------------------------------------ - ICEPACK operating system development project - - http://home.t-online.de/home/hilgardth/ - - hilgardth@t-online.de - ------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
