I suspect the problem is that you are supposed to specify the vinum volume; not the drive. That is, a vinum "drive" is a vinum partition on a physical device, not the physical device itself. So try specifying /dev/ad0s1a or /dev/ad0a or whatever is the name of your vinum labled partition. -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
