Hi,
Is it possible to see whether boot block are present in disk or not ? Is there any command which actually read the disk and let me know starting location of boot block ?

Thanks,
smishra
 
To view bootblocks in a disc:

newfs -N <RAW-device>

For example:

# newfs -N /dev/vx/dsk/rootvol
Warning: 1716 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/vx/rdsk/rootvol: 25067852 sectors in 12241 cylinders of 32 tracks, 64 sectors
12240.2MB in 250 cyl groups (49 c/g, 49.00MB/g, 6144 i/g)
