Thanks for your help, Crist. Very kind of you.

I gave up on fdisk. After I had entered my changes with option "u"
for partition 1 it started on partition 2, eventhough it was only 
given the device for partition 1. So I quit.

The disktab entries look ancient.  Looking thru the disklable for the working 
disk it looks like newfs did a bum job, and tunefs is needed.

This was 3.2. I'll try 4.0 and see if I have better luck. This time I'll
put up freebsd last.
