Re: install/47671: How do I manually add an extra MBR style disk?

Here's the output from several further runs with -w:

# mbrlabel /dev/rsd0

Found MSDOS partition; size 1073741824 (524288 MB), offset 2048

  skipping existing MSDOS partition at slot a.

Found 4.2BSD partition; size 524288000 (256000 MB), offset 1073743872

  adding 4.2BSD partition to slot e.

5 partitions:

#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]

 a: 1073741824      2048      MSDOS                     # (Cyl.      1 - 524288)

 b:     16384 1073743872     4.2BSD   1024  8192    16  # (Cyl. 524289 - 524296)

 c: 1952151552         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 - 953198)

 d:     16384 1073743872     4.2BSD   1024  8192    16  # (Cyl. 524289 - 524296)

notice how it is breeding partitions ...

A reboot, however, seems to have flushed what ever was going wrong:

# mbrlabel /dev/rsd0

Found MSDOS partition; size 1073741824 (524288 MB), offset 2048

  skipping existing MSDOS partition at slot e.

Found 4.2BSD partition; size 524288000 (256000 MB), offset 1073743872

  skipping existing 4.2BSD partition at slot f.

8 partitions:

#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]

 c: 1952151552         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 - 953198)

 e: 1073741824      2048      MSDOS                     # (Cyl.      1 - 524288)

 f: 524288000 1073743872     4.2BSD      0     0     0  # (Cyl. 524289 - 780288)

if nothing else, there needs to be an ignore disklable flag.
