As Randy Terbush wrote: > My next question is "how do I get these new boot blocks on without > doing this again?". Pick disklabel(8) from -current. I've made it understand about fdisk tables. The cases where it's still clobbering the fdisk table are documented in the man page. Basically, a simple ``disklabel -B sd0'' will work. If you decided to not chose the ``dangerously dedicated'' layout again at time of reinstallation, you don't need to do anything. The BSD disklabel and the fdisk table are different then. They are only identical for the ``dangerously dedicated'' case, where the BSD bootstrap serves as master boot record. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
