Stefan Eggers once stated:

=> fdisk at all and proceed to the disklabel... So what should I do
=> instead of the plain:
=> 
=> 	root@rtfm:/home/mi (108) disklabel -e sd1
=> 	disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument

=How about "disklabel -r -e sd1s1" (if fdisk partition 4 - if it is the
=only one - ends up as slice 1) for a start?

=If it is thought of by the system as damaged or unlabled I think the
=best one can do is writing a new one with "disklabel -r -w sd1s1 auto"
=and then edit the data. One will loose the previous data in it, though.

	root@rtfm:/home/mi (112) disklabel -r sd1s1
	disklabel: bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)
	root@rtfm:/home/mi (113) disklabel -r -w sd1s1 auto
	disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument
	disklabel: auto: unknown disk type
	root@rtfm:/home/mi (114) disklabel -r -e sd1s1
	disklabel: bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)

:-(

	Thanks!
