I am sure a used to be able to do this ... What I want to do is copy an iso image to a disk partition so I can boot from it and use that to install. Something along the lines of dd if=iso of=/dev/ad0s1 but what I am getting now is ... dscheck(#ad/0x200002): fixlabel: invalid magic fixlabel: invalid magic dd: /dev/ad0s1: Read-only filesystem The running system is installed on /dev/ad0s2 and s1 is not being used at all (no filesystems mounted or in use on s1) How can I get around this? I guess I can boot from the install floppies and use the fixit floppy.... Ok. I will go that route, but now I am wondering why has my favorite foot-blaster been taken away? And... for future reference, how can I get around the block? _________________________________________________________________ Don't just search. Find.
