[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, When migrating to a larger disk on my AlphaPC 164SX yesterday, I've found that the standard bsdlabel(8) layout is not understood by the Alpha bootblocks. By "standard" I mean that the `a' partition holding the root file system starts at offset 16. I did "bsdlabel -B -w da1 auto", then split the auto-created `a' partition (that starts from offset 16) to /, /usr, /tmp, and /var, then used newfs/mount/dump/restore to copy file systems to a new location. After a reboot, bootblocks complained that /boot/loader was not found. I re-edited the label, and changed the partition `a' to start from offset 0, doing another newfs/mount/dump/restore cycle, this resulted in a mountable disk. This is with 6.0-CURRENT...
