I haven't used NT in months so I decided to take over it's partition and split it into two to be mounted on /compat and /freespace. I ran sysinstall and used the dispart and disklabel program (Apparantly incorrectly as the machine wigged and did a sync and reboot) when it came back, the BSD bootmanager cannot find the kernel, my question is, if I originally had two partitions on this drive (NT and FreeBSD, in that order) and converted NT to a FreeBSD partition, does that relabel the current FreeBSD partitions? IE, would sd1a change to sd1b ? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Generic Duck and Weave: The above expressed views do not reflect those of BMC Software or their subsidiaries unless otherwise noted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
