I wonder what went wrong > last time? :-( disklabel -B installs the pseudo 50000-block fdisk table, hence you don't have a valid slice table. If you are mounting /dev/sd0a and /dev/sd0h, this is okay. However, if you're using the sysinstall- created fstab with /dev/sd0s1h for /usr (for example), you are stomped, even in cases where you have a dedicated disk. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
