[washu]:/etc> disklabel -w /dev/sd0c Quantum\ FB\ 540S
disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: Label magic number or checksum is wrong!
(disklabel or kernel is out of date?)

*sigh*  Ok, it seems there is a disklabel checksum problem :)

Heres the disktab I'm using now...

Quantum FB 540S:\
        :ty=winchester:ns#138:nt#2:nc#3835:rm#5400:\
        :pa#131072:oa#0:ta=4.2BSD:fa#1024:ba#8192:\
        :pb#131072:ob#131072:tb=swap:\
        :pc#1058460:oc#0:\
        :pd#131072:od#262144:td=4.2BSD:fd#1024:bd#8192:\
        :pe#665244:oe#393216:te=4.2BSD:fe#1024:be#8192:\
        :pf#0:of#0:\
        :pg#0:og#0:\
        :ph#0:oh#0:

Which gives me 64m / 64m swap 64m /var and the rest in /usr (330 meg or so)
