Thanks in advance. : : David. : -- : Chun-Feng Liu : Email: cfliu@Apollo.Dorm10.NCTU.edu.tw (FreeBSD) After making a new partion and marking it with 0xA5 (156 dec), you need to edit the /etc/disktab file in order to specify the BSD partitions you will be making. Next you need to run disklabel to write this: disklabel -w -r wd1 <diskname> Where diskname is defined in the disktab file. man disktab for more info. Once you have labeled your disk you can then run newfs. run: newfs /dev/rwd1? where the "?" is replaced with the letter for each partition. I hope this helps... -Aly
