Hi, Your idea is correct but this gives just Boot error. I need to make a boot sector which contains information that I'm booting from third physical disk. I think normally there is a value of 0x80 which means first disk. Old Makefile option changed just this value.

Creating bootsector file for W2k boot menu
I've used Windows NT boot menu for years to boot FreeBSD from the second disk on my machines. I've used bootpart DOS program to do this but now I can't find correct way to do FreeBSD boot block for it. Earlier there was a diskid definition in some Makefile to change. How should I do this now?
