I've just committed a fix that may clobber this bug to sysinstall in 2.1 and -current - could I possibly prevail upon you to grab the latest sysinstall and try your test scenario again? I'm not exactly sure what you did, but I did find something that might just have caused the symptoms. If so, I owe Poul-Henning a nice Czech pilsner. I also tried out your suggestion of checking errno for EACCES in the deviceTry() code. Thanks!! Jordan
