Hi,

I am trying to reuse an old DOS extended partition to extend my FreeBSD
diskspace.  My primary FreeBSD partition is wd0s3, the partition I am
trying
to use is wd0s6.

The disktools only seem aimed at installing onto primary partitions so I
am
using disklabel etal.   However, with no luck, when I try to label the
disk I
get:

    putte:~# disklabel -w -r wd0s6 auto
    disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument
    disklabel: auto: unknown disk type

Any other suggestions as to how to do this?

Regards/Mark

PS Running 3.1-RELEASE
