The following reply was made to PR conf/16948; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Michael R. Wayne" <wayne@staff.msen.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: jkh@FreeBSD.org, Sheldon Hearn <sheldonh@uunet.co.za> Subject: Re: conf/16948: Sysinstall/disklabel: bad partition table when single->multiple slices Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 12:10:32 -0400 This problem is still present in 4.0 RELEASE. Unfortunately, I did not re-examine the open PR database prior to my last FreeBSD conversion so I got bit by it again today. So I have a completely installed and configured system ready to go, that will not boot. Is there any possibility of getting this into 4.1 RC? It should be a fairly simple fix to either zero the prior contents of blocks 1 & 2 on the disk before writing the partition table and boot blocks or to simply zero all contents of the old partition table when writing a non-dangerously-dedicated one. /\/\ \/\/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
