Greetings, During upgrade from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6, I made a dum mistake in doing sync/sync/reboot after I merged my old /etc/ files into the upgraded /etc directory instead of doing an exit. The disk partitions got yanked and the disk can not be booted anymore because of invalid partition. Using the "fixit" floppy, "disklabel -r wd0" indicates that the label is invalid. There is no vi in the "fixit" floppy. What will be my best shot in recovering the disklabel (slices/ partitions etc) ? Or anything from the disk. Thank you for your help. Francis
