Hi,

Through a combination of this list's suggestions, I managed to get fdisk 
to successfully operate on my disk. Thanks. However, the step about 
'editing my label' as given in the handbook:

# disklabel -e da1s1 # Edit the disklabel just created.

is not something I really understand. Where is some nice documentation 
on this?
