The patch that Julian sent me has fixed the problem.
I hope it will be committed soon (I hate running separate sources).
Evind: By the way I did edit my disklabels to put 'SCSI' in place
of 'unknown' for the disk type but that didn't fix the problem so
I applied the patch and that fixed it. So I'm back to running with
DEVFS and SLICE in my kernel.
eddie: {8} disklabel -r sd1
# /dev/rsd1:
type: SCSI
By the way: Why do I have to specify 'sd1a' when I read the label
from the kernel copy i.e. 'disklabel sd1a' while 'disklabel -r sd1'
works ?
