Hi all,
I got 50 MB on a second drive I would like to use for bsd. The drive is
a ST1102AT (as recognized by the kernel). I set up a disklabel in a
ascii file which should work. Now if I

	disklabel -R -r /dev/wd1a file 

I get a : /dev/wd1a invalid parameter 
	  wd1: no disklabel

WHY ? HOW do I get the disklabel on there ? I tried the -w option with a
predetermined disktype, no success. I had no problems disklabeling the
first drive (10MB swap space).

Thanks, Dirk
