>Description:

After using `fdisk' to create a NetBSD partition and MSDOS partition on compact flash, a following `disklabel -R -r' will erase the partition table on that.


>How-To-Repeat:

> fdisk
> disklabel /dev/wd0d > foo
> disklabel -R -r /dev/wd0d foo
>Fix:

One workaround is to add -DSAVEBOOTAREA
