Thanks for that link! I had read that part of the handbook a long time
ago, and that's how my ideas of boot0 and boot1 and etc etc had gotten
clear. Glad to see it once again -- in the context of my question! :))
So what I understand now is -- copying boot0 over to c:\bootsect.bsd
will *not*
So that means I should install boot0 to the MBR of my second disk,
using boot0cfg with the -o noupdate flag, and then extract that MBR
(using dd for instance) to a file like c:\bootsectbsd? That should
work?
Or wait, maybe there's no need to extract. When I install boot0 to the
MBR, possibly the
