Hi Folks,

While everyone's thinking about disklabel problems, I have this problem =
to consider...

When I try to disklabel the disk on my DECstation 5000/120, I get an =
error saying something to the effect of 'bootblocks leave no room for =
disklabel'.  This is running the NetBSD disklabel compiled on FreeBSD =
2.2.0 using the bootblocks and disktab from the NetBSD distribution.  =
When I tried running the ultrix disklabel, all I managed to get was a =
segmentation violation!

I recall this being a problem in 386bsd or FreeBSD in the earlier days, =
but I can't for the life of me remember what the resolution of the =
problem was.

Thanks for any help you can provide,
Peter=20
