All,

Thank you all for your advise. I've just grabbed the very latest -current sys.tar.gz and rebuild the kernel and now the "disklabel sd0" command works. The UK site I obtained the last -current from must have been slightly out of date.
In response to some of your comments, yes the machine did register the existence of "sd0" when I booted, even when disklabel failed.

Okay, so now to work out how to label the disk, slice it up and then find something useful to put onto the 116MB it has available.
