| Hi there,
In a previous thread I had mentioned doing the following in order to try
and make a restored drive bootable.
disklabel -r /dev/re0 > /tmp/disklab
disklabel -r -R -t AdvFS /dev/re0 /tmp/disklab
I'm not sure if that command has ever worked, hence why my drive is
still not bootable as now when I enter the command "disklabel -r -R -t
AdvFS /dev/re0 /tmp/disklab" I get the following error which makes no sense.
"Must specify either disktype or bootfiles with -r flag or RESTORE option"
#
Any ideas?
What does it mean by bootfiles? does it mean /osf_boot ?
Thanks
Jon

I use to split up funktionality :
# disklabel /dev/re0 > /tmp/disklab
# disklabel -z
# disklabel -rw -t advfs /dev/re0
# disklabel -R /dev/re0 /tmp/disklab
For the record .:
bootfiles are the advfs_boot and boot_advfs in (as opposed to ufs_boot
and cdfs_boot)
