X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 01 Jul 2003 09:15:54 -0000 Hi, Should "fdisk -BI ad0" still work on current? I have a script that I use to prepare flash disks that have worked for a long time on older versions of FreeBSD, but it seems a little broken on -current. It actually started with the one from Warner's site people.../~imp/diskprep.pl and tweaked it over time to keep it running. On current I get an error when doing "fdisk -BI ad0": fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found So how is one supposed to create a FreeBSD slice nowadays from a script?
