See the -current mailing list of 2003-01 and 2003-02 for details. Did you try disklabel ad4 (without the -r) ? I am not an expert of 5.x, so this is almost everything I know. Another working workaround is to boot 4-stable (for example the 1st bootable installation cd) to be able to use the disklabel command from there. marco To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
