Install bootstrap code into the partitioning scheme's metadata on

.Ar geom .
|
||||||
|
Not all partitioning schemes have bootstrap code, so this command
|
||||||
|
is scheme-specific in nature.
|
||||||
|
For the GPT scheme, bootstrap code is supported but it is the boostrap
|
||||||
|
code that's installed in the protective MBR.
|
||||||
|
The
|
||||||
|
.Fl b Ar bootcode
|
||||||
|
option specifies a file that contains the bootstrap code.
|
||||||
|
The contents and size of the file are determined by the partitioning
|
||||||
|
scheme.
|
||||||
|
For the MBR scheme, it's a 512 byte file of which the first 446 bytes
|
||||||
|
are installed as bootstrap code.
