How? You can't. Disk labels have the offset from the start of the slice in them, and it's unsigned, so you can't have negative offsets. > The reason from this is that NetBSD only recognizes the FreeBSD > disklabel but I also want to access win98 slice... Unfortunately, NetBSD and FreeBSD don't play well together on the same disk. You might try asking for help in the NetBSD forums, if you haven't already. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
