The label will be duplicated if you actually copy the entire disk: dd if=/dev/rsd0 of=/dev/rsd1 bs=64k Of course, this assumes number_of_blocks(sd1) >= number_of_blocks(sd0). ``disklabel does not work'', well that's like ``my car doesn't go''. Can you perhaps be slightly more verbose? If you wanna re-label the disk, and have a drive fully dedicated to BSD, try this: disklabel -Brw sd1 disklabel -e sd1 -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
