Hello everybody,

i've installed Dragonfly on Laptop and its dualbooting with a Windows  2000 
System on a fat32 partition. The fat32 part. is the first and uses 10G. 
Dragonfly is installed on the last 15G of disk. My problem is that i can't mount 
the fat32 partition, because there is no disklabel for it. I can see the 
partition using fdisk ad0, but i wasn't able to add a disklabel for this 
partition. I tried this by using disklabel -e ad0. Disklabel shows that 
Dragonfly uses the whole disk (looking at the cylinders). So i couldn't give a 
disklabel to my fat32 partition. I tried both the release CD and the updated 
release A CD.

I'm sorry if this is a well known, but i couldn't find a solution matching my 
problem.
