Hi all Yesterday I created a new slice in my harddrive (moving partitions around with partition magic) to install FreeBSD 4.3 (again :-). My first disk layout is more or less the following now: slice 1 - Win98 slice 2 - FreeBSD disklabel slice 3 - Linux root slice 4 - Extended (more linux partitions, swap and /home) Well, the problem is that when I boot into FreeBSD I get the following warnings each time it tries to access the partition table or the disklabel: ad0s3: rejecting BSD label: raw partition offset != slice offset ad0s3: start 13398273, end 13542794, size 144522 ad0s3c: start 8177085, end 16354169, size 8177085 ad0s3: rejecting BSD label: raw partition offset != slice offset ad0s3: start 13398273, end 13542794, size 144522 ad0s3c: start 8177085, end 16354169, size 8177085 And, as you can see, the 3rd slice contains a linux partition... I guess that it might be some disklabel information laying around from a previous freebsd installation (that got overwritten by the linux partition)... Could this be? Shouldn't it check the A5 type of the partition first? A bug? So, what is FreeBSD reading?? I've tried with the FreeBSD 4.3 kernel and then recompiled my own 4.4-stable kernel... but it still happens. I've think to do the following: store a copy of ad0s3, clear out that space with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0s3 and then restore the contents of that slice... would this work?
