You need to use fdisk to create your partition, and disklabel to label the created partition. I could give you details, but it involves figuring out lots of numbers. Most people seem to agree that life is much better if you start an install, fdisk & disklabel from there, then reboot (as normal) and newfs your sd0? partition. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
