The instructions say to write a disklabel using a prototype file with the following command: disklabel -R -r sd1 diskproto I did this and got an error message saying: "write: Read-only file system" I figured that the disklabel was set to read-only so I executed this command, which according to the man pages will make the disklabel writable: "disklabel -W sd1" after doing this I tried writing the label again as I described above, but it still did not work, and I got the same error message. Can somebody please help me? Thanks in advance, C.P. ____________ Christian Plazas Columbus College, Columbus,GA 706.568.2063 ______________________________________________________________________
