And yes, we should probably fix the disklabel we write out initially. Diggin' some further I've seen that disklabeling my disk changes the in-core label but not the on-disk label :-( After each reboot the old label is there (staring at me with it's wrong d partition). I've disklabeled with: disklabel -w -B sd0 m2694s (m2694s is my disk layout in /etc/disktab) disklabel -w -B /dev/rsd0c m2694s disklabel -w -B /dev/rsd0d m2694s disklabel -w -r -B sd0 m2694s (too with device /dev/rsd0[cd]) disklabel -w -r -B -b /usr/mdec/sdboot -s /usr/mdec/bootsd sd0 m2694s (again with /dev/rsd0[cd] too) ...all to no avail :-((( What should I do to actually put a new label on-disk?
