I tried that, but probably not at the appropriate time. I'd likely done the "dd if=/dev/zero..." already. I was annoyed and got out the big hammer. So by the time I tried it, it didn't matter. Also it was a FreeBSD "zroot" label. After I play with the AHCI stuff I may repeat the situation.

Toomas, Thank you again. Very helpful. The Z400 will only support IDE mode. ACHI+RAID is the other option which I think only works with Windows. I know it will not work with Solaris and feel fairly certain it doesn't work with Linux or *BSD either. As pstack is not familiar to me I didn't

In light of the use cases for format(1m) I find it difficult to imagine why it would need to communicate with anything else other than to assert a mutex to prevent other processes from doing something stupid while it ran. I have the most recent monographs on FreeBSD, Solaris Internals and ZFS

It is with deep regret that I say this. I shall not be working on Illumos/OI. Below is the terminal output using the Hipster 2020.10 GUI install disk. I've always been amused by the enthusiasm for threads. I bought John Lakos' book when it came out and unlike most actually read much of it.
