Hi Nick Yes I think the label was set before I created the FAT partition... Setting the offset etc is an easy thing.. But how should I set "fsize", "bsize" and "cpg" on the windows partition when adding it using "disklabel -e sd1". And last... How should I set the "fstype" (it is a "0C" FAT32L partition). MSDOS, FAT32L, FAT or what? (can this info be found in any manpage or FAQ that I have missed?)
