Re: disklabel corrupt ?

:I tried to look into the archives for more infomation, but I couldn't

:When booting my FreeBSD system on the same disk, it printed messages

:disks were fully operational under df.

Hi Y'all;
               A recent FreeBSD 5.3 install on the same drive (da0s3) 
as an existing DragonFlyBSD partition (da0s2), syinstall completely 
initialized the disklabel of the DragonFlyBSD slice. Luckily I had a 
backup, and a copy of the disklabel, knowing that just about anything 
can, and will happen, during an installation to a multi-os drive;-o

best regards, TIV
