Yeah ... I use it. It seems to do the right thing. Then disklabel doesn't
work. :<
I'm looking like this:
#!/bin/sh
disk='da0'
fdisk -I ${disk}
disk=${disk}s1
disklabel -r -w $disk auto
Disklabel pukes. I've found a similar case at:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22cannot+find+label%22+%22no+disk+label%22+fdisk&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rnum=1&seld=972266336&ic=1
I emailed Matt Dillon to see if he solved the problem. You have no idea, eh?
Or do you do something slightly different? These commands work great if I run
sysinstall over to DTRT at first, but on a virgin bare disk, ... nada. :<
Thanks,
