A warning for my procedure for partitioning a second disk drive
in <1574 at ssc.UUCP>.
If after executing labelit, a couple of lines of cryptic messages
do not appear, and any programs you try to execute are not found,
Ctrl-alt-delete immediately.
I assume the superblock is stepped on, because the root filesystem sure
will be.
This has happened to me using both
labelit /dev/rdsk/1s2 x2 1s2 (as run in the installation script)
and
labelit /dev/dsk/1s2 x2 1s2 (as documented in the release notes)
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
The only safe place to run labelit from is a write protected boot floppy.
