I think you botched it. disklabel refuses to install a new bootstrap if there are any errors in the existing disklabel. You'll first have to clear any complaints from disklabel (e.g. by editing it with ``disklabel -e''), then you can install a new bootstrap. The sysinstall programs don't fill in all the required fields in the disklabel correctly; i've already filed a problem report for this (i386/251). -- 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. ;-)
