MBR bootstraps (such as boot0) assume a 512 byte sector. They won't boot correctly on media with a different sector size. So even if you "fixed" boot0cfg, you wouldn't have a bootable system. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
