Hello,
Would someone like to tell me the relationships between=
biosboot.sym and mbr ?
The 'man installboot' said :
-----------------------------------------------------------------=
-------------------
The NetBSD/i386 disk bootstrap software is split into two=
parts: a small
first-stage boot program that is written into the disklabel=
area of a
disk and a second-stage boot program that resides in a FFS=
file system on
the disk (named /boot). Both parts of the boot are derived=
from a single
object file which is split by installboot during the=
installation pro-
cess.
bootfile The name of the special object file=
(typically
/usr/mdec/biosboot.sym) where the first and=
second stage
boot programs to be installed reside.
-----------------------------------------------------------------=
-------------------
Is that to say mbr is contained in the biosboot.sym ?
but I found that mbr of the disk is not refreshed with the=
following command:
# installboot -f /usr/mdec/biosboot.sym /dev/rfd0a
Any suggestion ?
Best regards
sincerely yours
