I suspect your device name ought to be /dev/da0a. If you are at the boot prompt, what happens if you enter a "?"...? Anyway, if you tell it the right place, and your fstab is OK, you ought to boot into the system as normal, from which point you can re-run bsdlabel with the right device name. Otherwise, boot off of an install CD, and run the command from a shell. You can also begin a custom install and exit after wrws; g just a new boot block via sysinstall, too. -- -Chuck
