But the slice code is ignoring the entire disk. Since the disklabel from OpenBSD is absolute for the entire disk, and since the c partition is the entire disk, all the interesting slices are being ignored. : If you actually want to mount things that are outside the slice, then : you have to use fdisk to change the slice so that they are inside, or : just refer to them using the correct slice number. Ufff. I'll have to play with that. Thanks for the pointers and tips. Wanrer
