That did the trick; I might suggest putting this in FAQ #37, especially as 3.0-970124-SNAP still has the "insist on mounting something at / in the disklabel editor" (or at least I assume that's what's causing the "/mnt/mnt/dev/rsd0s1e not found" error and nothing gets written to the disk when I tried sysinstall). -- Alan Batie ------ What goes up, must come down. batie@aahz.jf.intel.com \ / Ask any system administrator. +1 503-264-8844 (voice) \ / --unknown D0 D2 39 0E 02 34 D6 B4 \/ 5A 41 21 8F 23 5F 08 9D
