I've had a similar problem, but with "gpart destroy" and a GPT partition. If I create a GPT partition on a disk then for some reason begin an install process again by rebooting and starting from the beginning of bsdinstall I am unable to destroy the old partition scheme. I encountered this with sysinstall and 8.0-8.2 as well. The workaround that I found is to use "dd" rather than "gpart destroy". Just dd the drive or part of drive in question from /dev/zero or /dev/random and everything is a clean slate. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
