Since this is FreeBSD 2.1.5, you can create an initial label for dedicating the _entire_ disk to FreeBSD by: disklabel -Brw sd0 and then edit the partitions with disklabel -e sd0 Sorry, slices (sd0s2) are not supported by this method. Either create the label manually, or use /stand/sysinstall. -- 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. ;-)
