Step 6 says to install the boot blocks with disklabel. Maybe this is the part I've missed? The bsdlabel man page shows this example: bsdlabel -B da0s1 da0 is my boot disk. It is labeled as follows: blacklamb# bsdlabel da0s1 # /dev/da0s1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1024000 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 64008 c: 17783112 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 16759112 1024000 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 So can I safely issue this command without destroying the data on my drive?
