The documentation is slowly being updated to reflect the features of the new boot code. There's nothing about specifying slices yet; though the preferred way to accomplish most boot stuff in 3.x is by way of the all-singing, all-dancing /boot/loader program rather than boot2. > Also, it might be nice if the disklabel(8) man pages explicitely > say that the bootstrap code can be installed on each slice. > (am I wrong ?) You're right, the bootblocks can be installed on each slice, and this also needs documenting. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
