The disk to be partitioned is under control of >an adaptec 1542b. There was a 386bsd-version of FDISK posted recently. For those who are more familiar with that DOS-partitioner, it might be easier to partition their disk with it. But you still have to mark the 386BSD-Partition with the A5-ID so that the install program will find the 386BSD-partition and write a correct disklabel. Fdisk can be found at ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de in /pub/BSD/386BSD/0.1-ports/misc/fdisk.Z Ralf
