The "blessing" is a combination of two things: - The directory ID of the "blessed" folder is written somewhere in the disk catalog (I think in the MDB, I don't remember for sure) - Valid boot blocs are written to bloc 0 and 1 of the volume OF may still be able to boot if the bootblocs are not present (but miBoot can't). ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
