Hi all,

I extracted the Primary Boot Record (PBR) of my OpenBSD 3.5 installation to
use Windows 2000's ntldr to boot OpenBSD in one of the Systems by following
the steps in OpenBSD documentation using the command

dd if=/dev/rwd0a of=OpenBSD.pbr bs=512 count=1


replace /dev/rwd0a with the root partition (/dev/hdxY) of your distro on which LILO has been installed.

on my home box , LILO is installed on /dev/hda7 which happens to be the root partition of my Slackware installation.

So, dd if=/dev/hda7 of=/mnt/win-c/Slackware/linux.bin bs=512 count=1

Update boot.ini in Windows and you can see the boot menu from the windows bootloader.

Can I use the same command in Linux to extract its PBR for the same use by
just changing the "/dev/rwd0a" to its Linux equivalent?

If so then may I know the Linux equivalent of it?

thankyou

regards

Siju
