BSD recognizes the card, etc., etc., but when I try to label the disk, I get a "Bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled" error . (Using the command "disklabel -B /dev/sd0") "Fdisk -u /dev/sd0" lets me specify various traits (cylinders, heads, sectors, etc.,) but when I attempt to write the changes to the disk, I get the following: "ioctl DIOCWLABEL: Operation not permitted by device" Any ideas? -sam
