gpart backup, restore and bootcode

[Janos Dohanics]

Hello list members,

Do the commands gpart backup and gpart restore also back up and restore
the bootcode? The gpart(8) man page says:

"restore   Restore the partition table from a backup previously created
           by the backup action and read from standard input.  Only the
           par- tition table is restored.  This action does not affect
           the con- tent of partitions.  After restoring the partition
           table and writing bootcode if needed, user data must be
           restored from backup."

I read this section as "yes" - is this correct? I assume "yes" since my
bootcode is embedded having been added using "gpart bootcode -b ..."
and thus "embed-ded in the partitioning scheme's metadata".

Is there a way to show/verify if bootcode is written to the disk?
