Thanks, Dave... I will try disklabel -B etc....

No, i didnt install the disklabel, i supose that the NetBSD 1.4 install
diskette disklabeled the hard disk.

This machine is the mail server of a little local university, it had some
recent version of linux, but two days ago was visited for a hacker :)))))
Then they came to us for help and i recommended our standard OS for
servers (i dont know linux). I installed 1.4 over the hard disk, i think
the install diskette wrote the partition table over the linux table.

Thanks again, Dave
