Was that the FreeBSD fdisk or the Microsloth one?
I have never seen that happen with the FreeBSD version.

It did. And I am sure that I even went back to /stand/sysinstall to make sure that only the second slice is active. Strangely, fdisk (in /stand/sysinstall) did not show any partition as active. %-)
Now that I seem to understand fdisk a little better, I did see that in my current exercise 3 partitions were marked as actkive. I returned to /stand/sysinstall (Fdisk) and marked slice 2 active and rechecked after - this time it was ok. Strange.

At any rate, I found Partition ;Magic had a partition table editor on one of my emergency disks and that fixed the dual active situation.

Again, thanks for your input.
