The device name should be something like /dev/sd1s0 (if your DOS slice is the first one. Otherwise /dev/sd1s1, etc.) /dev/sd1 is the whole disc under the new slice code (AFAIK.) /dev/sd1a is the compatibility name for /dev/sd1s?p0 where ? is the first BSD slice. (AFAIK, as well.) I'm not absolutely certain of this, as my BSD machine is at home. > Thanx, > marxx > :)
