Okay, everybody agrees that /stand/sysinstall is the way to partition and label a new disk driver. Okay, fine. Do all of that. The partition works fine. The labeling part, however, is another story: Error mounting /dev/da1s1b on /home2 : Invalid argument Error mounting /dev/da1s1d on /home3 : Invalid argument Error mounting /dev/da1s1a on /new/ports : Invalid argument Error mounting /dev/da1s1e on /new/root : Invalid argument Error mounting /dev/da1s1h on /new/src : Invalid argument Error mounting /dev/da1s1g on /new/usr : Invalid argument Error mounting /dev/da1s1f on /new/var : Invalid argument Disk: da1 Partition name: da1s1 Free: 0 blocks (0MB) Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- da1s1e /new/root 100MB UFS Y da1s1f /new/var 100MB UFS Y da1s1g /new/usr 1000MB UFS Y da1s1h /new/src 1000MB UFS Y da1s1a /new/ports 1000MB UFS Y da1s1b /home2 7000MB UFS Y da1s1d /home3 7318MB UFS Y Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a da1 at ahc1 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 da1: <IBM DRVS18V 0140> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da1: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da1: 17519MB (35879135 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 17519C) cd1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 cd1: <PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W124TS 1.02> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device cd1: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8) cd1: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present - tray closed da0 at ahc1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <SEAGATE ST39173LW 6246> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 8683MB (17783240 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 8683C) Okay, what the hell is going on here? I have been fighting with this damn thing all day, and I am just a bit annoyed. The problem appears to be: bash-2.04# mount /dev/da1s1a /new/root mount: /dev/da1s1a on /new/root: incorrect super block because apparently, /stand/sysinstall did NOT bother to create the slices?
