As simplest way you can create one BSD partition with sysinstall, then manually (disklabel -e) change it from `e' to `a' and then continue to create others. (Don't forget to unmount this partition because sysinstall mounts it immediately.) DS> command newfs /dev/ad2s1a also cannot create this slice. Yes, newfs can't create partition, by design. /netch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
