It should be of type Vinum. It also looks very short. It's 138M of a 120G hard drive, which is probably about 60M more than I'll use.

I suspect that the entire > disk label is bogus. all my vinum volumes are working fine with two exceptions, 1 the swap volume (known problem, at some point in the future I will cvsup, make world, etc and it will be fixed, let me know if there is any data you would like from this system) and I would like to boot from the root volume. which is currently d: Can I just: 1. s/4.2BSD/vinum/ 2. transpose a: and d: (if I do this will I have to rm and recreate the volumes? Not a problem I just can't figure it out) 3. Do I then just reboot? It would seem that I need to install a boot loader some which way.
