A few stupid questions regarding MBR and boot0

[Aleksander Alekseev]

Hello

I was trying to figure out how FreeBSD boot process works and noticed
something strange.

1) If I understand correctly first 512 bytes of /dev/ad0
and /boot/boot0 file should match, but they don't:

Could someone please explain why they don't match?

2) I tried to compile boot0 from source (r297956) but compilation
failed:

```
$ cd sys/boot/i386/boot0
$ make

Warning: Object directory not changed from
original /usr/home/eax/freebsd-src/sys/boot/i386/boot0

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/home/eax/freebsd-src/sys/boot/i386/boot0
```

Am I doing something wrong?
