Boot2 loading process

2006-10-14 Thread Jan Pfeifer
hi all, I was reading through the architecture handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/book.html) about the boot process, and something strange caught my attention. According to the docs boot0 loads only the first record of the partition, that is 512bytes.

, that is 7.5kb. many thanks again, - jan ps.: the docs also mentions that slices are the FreeBSD jargon for partitions, sorry. - Original Message From: Jerry McAllister [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Valentin Nechayev [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Jan Pfeifer [EMAIL PROTECTED]; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
