Lines: 13 Message-ID: <4gcnj3$jbg@maureen.teleport.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ip-pdx05-49.teleport.com X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #3 A SCSI drive on my system failed so I replaced it with an identical drive after writing down all the disklabel and partition information. After writing the FreeBSD slice using FreeBSD fdisk (which appears to have worked), and running disklabel, I get the error: disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: Operation not supported by device. There are no DOS partitions on the drive... slice 0 starts at 0 and goes to the end of the drive. I want to create only one FreeBSD partition (e:) which encompasses the entire slice (yes, I know that I need c: and d:). Any help?
