It did, but at least until before the last slice changes have been commited, disklabel complained about d_secperunit being less than the actual unit size.

Sysinstall should enter the right values, IMHO.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
