Did disklabel complain about ``super block size 0'', ``revolutions per minute 0'', or ``interleave 0''? Go and fix those errors before (disklabel -e), disklabel will otherwise refuse to install a bootstrap. (The reason for the errors is fixed in the -current libdisk, and i think will also be fixed in the upcoming snap.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
