At least one of the present MBRs is a bit too strictly correct, and supports booting only from hard drive 0, which is all IBM/Microsoft officially support. It'd probably make life a bit easier to allow booting from any hard drive. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Why we need two distinct MBRs in the sources?
Hi! Apparently, we have two distinct MBRs in the sources. First one is in /usr/src/sbin/i386/fdisk.c, and could be installed onto disk by ``fdisk -b'', for example. The second one is in /usr/src/release/sysinstall/wizard.c, and could be installed onto disk by ``sysinstall''. It is confusing... Could it be possible to unite these ones in /src/sys/boot/i386/mbr/ ?
