Do I have to format the drive? Would that be a DOS format? or a Unix format (which is mentioned in the man pages but I can not find in the distribution)? I do have Nemeth, Snyder & Seebass in front of me but I'm still stymied. What do you mean by "disklabel seems unable to rectify this"? You should be able to write a disklabel on that new drive. Try doing an fdisk -i wd1 first and setting up partition 3 - it should derive the correct values from the disk itself. Then do a disklabel -w -r ... on the drive to set it up, and you should be able to newfs it. PS. What is the delta between 1.1.5 and 1.1.5.1? Is it worth upgrading? How does one upgrade? And does anybody have the source for a good yapp Notes on why and how are all contained with the 1.1.5.1 distribution. JOrdan
