Leave it alone, run ``disklabel -e sd2'', copy the `c' line over to, for example, `e', and change this one to be ``4.2BSD 8192 1024'', or however you like it. Then, ``newfs -d0 /dev/rsd2e''. -- 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. ;-)
