(that's not the machine experiencing the problem)
>Description:
Machine has two disks, ad0 (existing 5.0 system) and da0 (scratch
disk). Selecting da0 as the target for 'partition' and then
following that by the sequence 'label/distribution/commit'
results in a wiped ad0.
>How-To-Repeat:
see above. I've tried this 2 times, the second very carefully,
and got the same undesired result. (By intention, neither
disk was a production disk). I'm hoping this is still, somehow,
pilot error, but I'm skeptical at this point.
>Fix:
unknown.
