So all I have to do is fdisk this again? Any device on the disk. It depends on whether any other device on the disk is already open. Getting the complete list of open disks seems to require looking at the output of `mount', `pstat -s' and `fstat'. An easier way to see if the tables are being refreshed is to set the kernel's `bootverbose' flag by booting with -v or using a debugger (e.g., echo 'set bootverbose=1' | gdb -k -w /kernel /dev/mem). Then the driver will print annoying messages about the tables when it refreshes them. More annoying messages can be printed by setting the kernel's `dsi_debug' flag using a debugger. Bruce
