Two quick questions:
1. When I boot my system, it complains about "old BSD partition ID" a
few times. I know this is because I've still got 165 (0xa5) instead of
169 (0xa9), but how do I change it without losing any data?
2. I've got a 2nd SCSI disk on my system. I've run fdisk (both from DOS
and under NetBSD), but still disklabel complains that the label is
"fictitious" and refuses to write out a new one. It (disklabel) says to
use "disklabel -r" to write the initial label, but that doesn't work,
nor does it make sense.
TIA.
