Hi,

still wondering why I can't boot my cdrom... it would make me a little 
more confindent than relying on the swap partition I can no longer touch...

I had the idea that sysinst or disklabel are confused by the existing 
partition.

I thought of running dd:

*|dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0c bs=8k count=1 As mentioned here: 
https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-misc.html but then the 
partition menu still sees all partitions? why? I then used the menu 
option to use the standard whole disk, which just makes one big root 
(not useful, as a test) I end up with [1] Bus error /sysinst I tried 
zeroing out more: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0c bs=8k count=10 10+0 
records in 10+0 records out 81920 bytes transferred in 0.030 secs
