Sorry for delay.  I got a new world.  Same results  :\

# fdisk da0
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=15 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)

parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=15 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)

fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found
fdisk: /boot/mbr: length must be a multiple of sector size

C/H/S are the same from fdisk and from messages.  Anyway, dd should
work, I'm right?

# dd if=/dev/da0 | hd
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 0.010953 secs (0 bytes/sec)

No, there are no messages, neither on console nor on /var/log/*  :\

# fdisk /dev/da0s1

Uh?

# fdisk /foo/bar/da0s1
fdisk: cannot open disk /dev//foo/bar/da0s1: No such file or directory

I think it should use user provided device, not last tryed with /dev/
attached in front of (imvho :-)
