McGovern" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was just running through my 'make release' last night, and saw when doFS.sh was performing a disklabel on a vn device (the boot floppy), it returned the error: ioctl DIOCWLABEL: Operation not supported by device Now I understand that the primary purpose of this operation is to load the boot blocks on to the floppy image. I guess my question is whether this is actually working, or whether its failing for some strange reason?
