On most i386 platforms, the disk labels are a second-order thing. First you have the BIOS partition table, which defines up to four slices ad0s1 to ad0s4. Your dubious slice could be any of these. Take a look at each of them and see if that tells you something. It's also worth looking at the BIOS partition table. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
