| + | Use ''disklabel'' to create and modify BSD partitions for a harddrive. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are two levels of partitioning in BSD. ''fdisk'' will create a partition in the MBR table, one for BSD. disklabel takes that partition and then creates it's own partition table from there. | ||
| + | |||
