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 ?
