Now I have switched to NetBSD and am having problems! When I go to disklabel wd1, one of two things happens: disklabel -w -r wd1 drive1 will either cause the error message "Boot strap doesn't leave enough room for disk label" or will cause a kernel panic (trap 18) and my machine locks up! If I don't use -r, then disklabel returns with no errors, I can newfs /dev/rwd1a, and then mount it and use it... until I reboot, and then the kernel reports wd1: bad disk label. What's wrong here? Why doesn't this work? Please help.... alan pearson alanp@cory.berkeley.edu
