Did you try disklabel -r /dev/rsd0 (note: without partition 'c') ? That is, if the whole disk belongs to BSD. Now, if you have fdisk slices, you'd probably first put some bogus label on /dev/rsd0, then fdisk /dev/rsd0, then disklabel /dev/rsd0sX (X being your a5 BSD slice). Are there any docs on how this *ought* to work ? Bernard
