For FreeBSD-current or 2.1.5, and a fully dedicated drive: disklabel -Brw sd1 auto disklabel -e sd1 <edit your partitions> newfs -d0 /dev/rsd1h <etc., newfs your filesystems> That's about all you gotta do! You can also give /stand/sysinstall a try now if you prefer. Should be a fine equivalent to your icky-tricky-handhold script. -- 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. ;-)
