Warren,
In the EXAMPLES section of the gpart(8) man page, they do this:
/sbin/gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr ad0
In your document however, you first create an explicit (special) partition
named "gpboot" and then you do this instead:
gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 da0
Who is "right" in this case?
I did the former, and did not get any error.
The gpart(8) man page says:
"... First, a protective MBR is embedded into the first disk sector from
the /boot/pmbr image..."
however it appears to me that the steps in your tutorial are effectively
installing a copy of the /boot/pmbr file into block #40 of the disk. Yes?
But isn't a copy of /boot/pmbr really supposed to end up in the first 512
bytes of the disk, i.e. block #0 ?
