Should that matter? Yes, that matters. Read my other posting. Sysinstall always assignes ``sliced'' disk entries for everything except the root f/s. Since disklabel -B destroys your fdisk table (which libdisk has been creating fine, even in the `dangerously dedicated' case), your slices are invalid. Well, it should have found the root f/s however. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
