It just overwrites the whole sector and fills partition table area. I see three ways how this can be fixed: 1. Do not change anything :) 2. Always keep disk signature for each boot code. 3. Introduce new option for `gpart bootcode` command, i.e: # gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot0 -o some,boot,options ada0 where 'some,boot,options' string, that contains separated by comma options which are handled with a scheme specific code. -- WBR, Andrey V.
