However, I don't think that explains the problem (works with MBR, but not with GPT). Further, I couldn't use disklabel(8) to fix the problem. Even creating a new auto/standard disklabel fails. It kept complaining about an invalid ioctl. Any tips on how to debug geom ? I tried "set kern.geom.debugflags=1" at the bootloader prompt without success. -Arun # disklabel -r da0s2 # /dev/da0s2: type: SCSI disk: da0s2 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 2235 sectors/unit: 35916548 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 524288 530186 4.2BSD 2048 16384 32776 # (Cyl. 33*- 65*) b: 4004672 1054474 swap # (Cyl. 65*- 314*) c: 20867063 530186 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 33*- 1331*) d: 524288 5059146 4.2BSD 2048 16384 32776 # (Cyl. 314*- 347*) e: 524288 5583434 4.2BSD 2048 16384 32776 # (Cyl. 347*- 380*) f: 15289527 6107722 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28480 # (Cyl. 380*- 1331*) Warning, partition c doesn't start at 0!
