Hmn.

Running disklabel off the floppy still gives me the same problem (can't
change unset disklabel).  It also adds a new one:  

   /etc/disktab   -  no such file or directory.  (I assume this doesn't
                                                  exist on the floppy?)

It also seems to be having problems with the disk type, I am using a 1 Gig IDE
drive.  Any ideas?

  Thanks again,
