Wipe out old junk from the disk before. The slice code is fairly conservative in an attempt to protect those disk regions that are owned by non-BSD systems against clobbering. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0 count=100 disklabel -Brw sd0 auto should always succeed. Don't mess with fdisk in this case, it's not needed. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
