Hi Mark,

Thanks for the link. Problem is that my partitions are already made and
disklabel does not seem to let me delete them. Is there a way to get the
CF back to how it was before I installed NetBSD on it so I can go
through the process again?

Could it be that there is something else wrong with the disk label?

Thanks
Rich
