However, I don't quite understand your double zeroing of the disk. > #####__Zero out random garbage._####### > # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0c bs=1m count=1 [...] > #####__Zero out random garbage ( not the raw disk ).__##### > # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd1c bs=1m count=1 The first one is an ok alternative to what's done in the FAQ, but I don't understand your comment on not using the raw disk for the second command. Using the raw device as it is written *is* correct, see also the example section in the bioctl(4) manual. You are correct, this is not needed, ( Over zealous "pasto" ) This reads better. # dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/rsd0c bs=1m #####__Zero out random garbage._####### # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0c bs=1m count=1 # fdisk -iy sd0 # disklabel -E sd0 (create an "a" partition, see above for more info) # bioctl -c C -l sd0a softraid0 New passphrase: Re-type passphrase: softraid0: CRYPTO volume attached as sd1 ####__Add a MBR__##### # fdisk -iy sd1 # disklabel -E sd1 (create an "i" partition, see above for more info) # newfs sd1i # mkdir -p /mnt/secretstuff # mount /dev/sd1i /mnt/secretstuff # mv planstotakeovertheworld.txt /mnt/secretstuff/ # umount /mnt/secretstuff # bioctl -d sd1 Regards, Gerald Hanuer
