Can you please explain that '64' to me?
As far as I understand, I need to find the block that /boot from raid0a is
placed at, relative to the start of the physical disk. fsdb(8) told me the
file is in blocks 1560 and up relative to raid0a, so I cannot imagine how
this fits together so that the first stage bootloader that I'd like to
put onto sd0a finds it at block #64? Or is my picture plain wrong?
