From the man page, we see that fdisk's -B flag reinitializes boot code in sector 0 of the disk. But if there is no code to reinitialize, it exits with an error, saying you don't have a proper MBR. If you want a single slice on the disk, just do `fdisk -I ad3`. Then run disklabel like the walkthrough says. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
