Nope. Doesn't work.

When I do a command '-r' command, it always results in a 'disk has no =
label' message and that's=20
it.
Not using the '-r' command, the command is not executed.

Two addition notes:
- the disk is a 'RZ25-E'. According our 'resident dec-engineer', it =
should be identical to the=20
'RW25'.
- OpenBSD installation-notes did not mention anything about 'disklabel' =
etc. (I didn't install=20
it here, so I don't know for sure).
But, the 'dd' command does not have the 'seek=3D16 skip=3D16' part =
either.
Is it possible to copy the label of a disk using 'dd'? In that case, can =
somebody Email me a=20
useable disklabel for the miniroot-1.2 on a RZ-25?

Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
