I've been seeing the same thing, and now my DOS partitions no longer mount at boot time. Running a disklabel shows that all of my FreeBSD slices cyl/hd/sec numbers are all now relative to the start of the entire FreeBSD parition. E.g. my /dev/rsd1a slice is now reported as starting at cylinder 0, even though it physically starts somewhere around cyl. 500 on the disk. My old MS-DOS partitions are no nowhere to be seen in my disklabel output. So now that the slices are being definied differently, how do I go about getting my msdos partitions usable again? I'm also not thrilled with the fact that disklabel is now reporting relative cyl/hd/sec numbers instead of absolute numbers. -- Mike Pritchard The Dart Shop - Darts & Supplies pritc003@maroon.tc.umn.edu "Go that way.
