fdisk: alternate boot code
I'd like to use fdisk and supply an alternate boot code using the -b option. How do I save the existing boot code within the MBR so as to pass it to fdisk though? I'm guessing I can use dd but I'm not sure how. Thanks, Chris. - Email provided by http://www.ntlhome.com/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
