Hi.
Go to http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/picobsd.html and download the
BootFORTH demo
(floppy image)
(Direct link: http://www.freebsd.org/~picobsd/bootldr.bin )
Copy it to a floppy (using dd(1)) and you have a boot floppy that you
can mount (it has a ufs filesystem) and customize.
You can also create a bootable floppy manually by following the
instructions in The Handbook, but the picobsd floppy image is a great
starting point for this kind of thing.

Hi Everyone!
The MBR on my hard disk is corrupted (or sometimes is), after re-installing
FreeBSD it was not overwritten and fixed even though the complete system
was. So when i need to boot i use the bootcds i used to install FreeBSD and
at boot0 i press any key (during rapid / - \ - spinnings) and boot my hard
drive using the command 0:ad(a,0)/boot/loader. When there is a power
failure, it requires me to go back to the system and repeat the process.
How could i make a custom boot floppy (or even boot cd) to load
0:ad(a,0)/boot/loader automatically, since the MBR never gets repaired
(however many times i've tried). If this information is already documented
somewhere, a point in the right direction will be more than sufficient, even
if the information is about MBR repair and installation of the FreeBSD boot
loader.
I am using 4.8-RELEASE, thanks to all in advance!
