    Hi,

    Should "fdisk -BI ad0" still work on current? I have a script that I use
    to prepare flash disks that have worked for a long time on older versions
    of FreeBSD, but it seems a little broken on -current. It actually started
    with the one from Warner's site people.../~imp/diskprep.pl and tweaked it
    over time to keep it running.

    On current I get an error when doing "fdisk -BI ad0":

    fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found

    So how is one supposed to create a FreeBSD slice nowadays from a script?

    John
