Solved bootcode and protective mbr

[CyberCr33p]

If I run

gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0

is

gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr ada0

needed?

Here is the output for 1st command:

gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0

partcode written to ada0p1
bootcode written to ada0

And here for 2nd command:

gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr ada0

bootcode written to ada0

No, you only need to run the first command

-b /boot/pmbr
instructs gpart to install a protective MBR on the specified disk.

-p /boot/gptboot -i 1
instructs gpart to install the bootcode /boot/gptboot to the first partition on the specified disk.

ada0
is the disk specified. You see, it's just 2 commands combined.
