i was able to get it work by running 'fdisk -i ccd0'., afterwards i ran 'newfs /dev/ccd0' and i had a partition that was the size it should have been. i then ran: # ccdconfig -g > /etc/ccd.conf and added the device to fstab: /dev/ccd0c /mnt ffs rw,noatime,nodev,nosuid 1 2 when i reboot, i get: ccdconfig: ioctl (CCDIOCSET): /dev/ccd0c: Device not configured. for some reason, the disklabel for sd2 keep getting changed. is this normal when using ccd? disklabel (after reboot): # disklabel sd1 16 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] c: 35843670 0 unused 0 0 # Cyl 0 - 11488* e: 35843584 63 4.2BSD 2048 16384 408 # Cyl 0*- 11488* # disklabel sd2 16 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 35840952 63 unused 0 0 # Cyl 0*- 11487* c: 35843670 0 unused 0 0 # Cyl 0 - 11488* sd1 stays the same, but sd2 (which had the same configuration as sd1) has changed, and i imagine this is what is is cause it to crap out on boot up, because when i change sd2's disklabel to what it should be, 'ccdconfig -C' runs just fine erik
