You might email PHK@freebsd.org directly as the bug is felt to be in his code. Or email bde@freebsd.org how I think is familar with the bug. I believe you can do this if you: dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/da4 bs=64k skip=512 disklabel -B da4 [I could be off on the offset to skip. Others can probably correct me.] -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
