Hi there! Sorry if this may sound like a rather stupid question: (Referencing the examples section of man installboot(8)) Can s.o. verifiy that instead of # installboot sd0 it is equally safe to issue # installboot (the DUID itself, of course)? My system is fully encrypted with sd1 usually

Hello, the new installboot(8) wipes the disk label on a 4k-byte/sector drive - a valid disk label becomes binary zeros after /usr/sbin/installboot -r /mnt sd4 To be more precise, the "boot sector" (the first 512 bytes) gets installed, but the disk label (the next 512 bytes) is o

quick installboot(8) question, i386->amd64?

2006-09-22 Thread Stuart Henderson
Should i386 installboot be able to successfully install an amd64 bootloader? I'd like to change arch on a remote box (I have console access so I plan on just booting an amd64 bsd.rd at that point), pxe isn't easily available, and I don't have a spare machine with a suitable processor to try it on
