I've seen this twice now, so mail goes off to -hackers :-) I've seen cases where relabeling disks cause the slice information to go away. In one case this was done via the install program completely, and in the other I think it was done with disklabel. I did the following to get a recently installed FreeBSD 2.1.5R system to 1> Go into the install program, make the first partition active, then W the change, choose booteasy. 2> W the changes (I made none) to the disk in the disklabel screen. then exit and do the following (after at least one reboot): disklabel wd0 > /tmp/foo disklabel -R -B wd0 /tmp/foo I then rebooted. At that point, it claimed that /dev/wd0s1b didn't exist, but it could easily find /dev/wd0b. Any idea what is up with this? Is more information needed? Warner
