X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I am trying to disklabel my second ide drive (wd1) so that i can access it from freebsd 1.1.5. wd1 presently contains only msdos, all in one partition. disklabel asks if i want to overwrite the existing partition info. if i say no, the disklabel is not written. but if i say yes, won't that mess up msdos access to the drive? what to do?
