I _still_ don't have it right. It's getting rather serious as the new disk I'm trying to boot is the only one with a complete set of data. I did the following: # fdisk -i wd1 # fdisk -0 -c /usr/mdec/mbr -u wd1 # fdisk -a wd1 # disklabel wd0 > protolabel # vi protolabel # disklabel -FrR wd1 protolabel # newfs /dev/wd1a
