This is a problem. doing this from the OF console (btw, it's partition number 11 on disk 0 (disk0s11)) results in the following: DISK-LABEL: LOAD (noninterposed) not supportedload-size=0 adler32=1 LOAD-SIZE is too small ok 0 > ... I've tried all numbers after hd up to 16. Should I be specifying the device to read too? (the physical medium?) If so, how? (disk0s10 : HFS+ 64MB) txbi?
