Then again, with the changes made to the slice code made in 2.0.5, disklabel might not be reporting correct information. The only way *I* know to set a disklabel with the new labeling scheme is to run /stand/sysinstall as root and tell the system about your partitions, labels, and mount points again. Using disklabel to do it would depend on whether or not the command was updated to understand the new slice code. There's got to be a better way, however, so I'm redirecting your question back to the list. Can anybody explain to Marxx (and me for that matter) the correct procedure for listing/changing disklabels on 2.0.5? In private e-mail we thought the reason he couldn't mount his DOS parition was that he might not have a label for it (even though the partition exists).
