Does this mean the handbook section 3.5, Disk Organisation, is incorrect for ia64? There's no fdisk on ia64, is there? I can't find bsdlabel either, on alpha it's under /sbin, but on ia64 it's nowhere to be found. many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
