|From: Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au> |Something like the following should work, but I'm less sure about it: | | disklabel /dev/rsd1 >/etc/label.sd1 # get sub-minimal label | vi /etc/label.sd1 # fix deficiencies in label; | # partition as required | disklabel -R -r sd1 /etc/label.sd1 | Would this work with the ncr controller, which has trouble guessing the right parameters with large drives? I can see an opportunity for a lot of experimenting on both the msdog/FreeBSD sides getting an initial set of parameters that would work with fdisk. Maybe that group of hackers-to-be could rip out the slicing/labelling part of sysinstall and build a standalone utility with it. Russell
