As the subject says: I want to create a non-dangerously dedicated disk but without using sysinstall. The reason is, I want to make an exact copy of the present system (2.2.6) but can't use the dangerously dedicated mode because the new disk will go into another broken Siemens PC. Normally, I do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd1 count=100 disklabel -wrB sd1 auto disklabel -e sd1 newfs, ... which creates a dangerously dedicated disk and all is well but this disk won't boot on a Siemens system (Read error, because of their "famous" Phoenix BIOS). A disk with a non-dangerously dedicated layout works here but I would like to create it using dd, fdisk, disklabel,...
