    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
