Did you delete and recreate the slice or is it still marked as FAT when you do fdisk /dev/ad1 If it's still a FAT/DOS slice you might try deleting and recreating it as a native FreeBSD slice, I'm not entirely sure putting a bsdlabel on a FAT slice is going to do the right thing (although I could be wrong here) -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5A8C 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB
