As you're using slices, the disklabel command needs a slice argument: eg. da0s1 rather than da0. It seems you may have a second copy of the boot manager installed where the boot blocks should be. If the proper disklabel command doesn't fix this, take a look at the fdisk(8) output for the disk and verify that the slice starts in the correct location: typically cyl=0 head=1 sector=1. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
