Good morning, FreeBSD enthusiasts,
Would you wish to recommend a disk sector editor program? I am looking for
something that provides functionality similar to Microsoft DskProbe, but
not requiring a graphics user interface, and most importantly, does not
require any operating system support beyond that which can be loaded from a
floppy diskette. It would be used on a computer with contemporary Intel
architecture. I am interested in accessing things such as the boot record,
partition table, FAT, directories, i-nodes, and other similar parts of the
hard drive. The type of display that a tool such as PCTools, or XTGold has
would be great; however each of these accesses files, not sectors, and
neither work with contemporary gigabyte drives. Surprisingly, I was unable
to identify any such program at the GNU site. Any suggestions would be
appreciated. Yours truly, Lee Shackelford L e e underscore S h a c k e l

I'm not sure how much *editing* you may do with it (I guess none, but at
least you can figure out the physical location of the data you need
modified)
When I built it statically (not via the port), it took more than 1
diskette (~3M), but I didn't try crunching the binaries together. I
guess you might end up using 2 diskettes: 1 for booting, the other for
sleuthkit.
HTH.
