Where did I start from... MBR boot0 and boot1
« on: December 05, 2011, 12:09:37 AM »
How can I figure out where my current running system did start from?

I mean, with what MBR / boot1 did my system start from? Is there a way to read the MBR's from all my disks and get it recognized as chameleon boot0 and the active one? fdisk with what?

The same with boot1, how can I check from which one did my current system start from? dd with what to compare?

Sure that is has been answered,, byt can't find it right now.

Thanks in advance.

You can use sudo xxd -l512 /dev/disk0 to see if there's any MBR code listed there. Replace the 0 with a 1 or 2 for any amount of disks you may have. One of your disks must have valid MBR code.
