As part of our disaster recovery planning, I'm working up a bare-metal recovery sequence that can be followed by someone who's used Linux (easier to find here than a FreeBSD admin).
My initial outline sequence was along the lines of: Boot install CD and choose Fixit fdisk -BI extract saved disklabel from tape and install with bsdlabel Initialise filesystems using stored output of dumpfs -m (from tape) Restore filesystems from tape I'm tripping up on the first step, which although it appears to create the slice, throws a ``Geom not found'' message - which is potentially worrying to someone blindly following a recovery script. Is there a way to avoid this message, or would I be better off using the Configure option of sysinstall (and the W option to write the new slice table) before switching to Fixit mode to recover the disklabel (which is the next bit I need to test ``under lab conditions'')?
