Using or not using -r makes a great difference on a pristine disk. Using your own idea of a device node, too (simply use `sd0' or such). This is what is supposed to work: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0 count=15 disklabel -Brw sd0 auto -- 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. ;-)
