Do you get any output at all from the disklabel program? I found that if you get an error (for example regarding RPM or interleave being "0") the bootblocks are *not* written. Use "disklabel -e" and set the errant parameters to something meaningful, and you will find the problem cured. Aled -- telephone +44 973 207987
