Hmmm. Odd. That's worked for me on FreeBSD-4.11, 6.1, 7.2, and 8.1 (both i386
and amd64).
What's the output of:
uname -spr
Also, after completing the dd(1) command, what's the output of:
fdisk -p /dev/da5
It should look something like this:
# /dev/da5
g c31 h64 s32
p 1 0x17 1 64259
a 1
Something you might also want to try is zapping the disk (wiping all contents)
prior to trying again:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da5
I once had a thumb drive that had slackware on it that needed to be "zapped" in
the above manner before it worked properly.
