Henrik:
Yes, I did try /boot/mbr and /boot/boot0 (and boot1), but none of them successfully booted dos or windows.
I think I need to steal one from a FAT32 filesystem that was made with Dos's fdisk.. :(

Hi All,
In the newfs_msdos(8) man page, there is a -B option to add a bootstrap from a file. How do you generate this bootstrap?
I wanted to make a FAT32 filesystem that Windows or Dos could boot, from freebsd. Newfs_msdos creates the filesystem just fine.. it just won't boot anything :)
Thanks,
Matt
Greetings!
Have you tried the file /boot/mbr or even /boot/boot0? These files are "boot code", so why not try them?
I may be totally off here, but hey - nothing ventured, nothing gained, eh? ;-)
