Hello Tim I did what in the handbook under article 26.6.5.2. is described but not shure how I can write a new boot block to the disk. Here is what I think is correct: Output from df and bsdlabel mfid0s1: # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/mfid0s1a 989M 378M 532M 42% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/mfid0s1d 989M 16K 910M 0% /tmp /dev/mfid0s1f 388G 2.6G 354G 1% /usr /dev/mfid0s1e 182G 43M 167G 0% /var # /dev/mfid0s1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 2097152 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 b: 8388608 2097152 swap c: 1246081662 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 2097152 10485760 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 e: 394264576 12582912 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 f: 839234174 406847488 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 My opinion is: bsdlabel -B mfid0s1 Is that correct?
