Hi,
I am trying to copy a picobsd image into a slice in a compactflash
device.
I thought that after creating an appropriate FreeBSD slice with fdisk,
it would suffice to 'dd' the image into /dev/ad0s2, but apparently
the system complains with
"%s: rejecting BSD label: raw partition offset != slice offset\n",
(from kern/subr_diskslice.c) when trying to fdisk the partition,
if (pp->p_offset != start) {
and also the secondary bootloader (boot2) complains with a "Not ufs",
presumably for the same reason.
Two questions here:
* it looks like the label should know about the absolute location
of the slice on the disk. Why is this necessary ?
* in case, what places should I patch in the image with the actual
offset of the partition ?
thanks
luigi
