Thanks for reminding me, John, and thanks for the suggestion.

I think I followed, to the letter, the instructions on the gpart web 
site: "download the gpart binary" -- did that -- "rename it to 'gpart'" 
-- did so -- "store it on a floppy disk" -- did that, too.

But when it came to: "Now run gpart /dev/..." (and I ran it as 
"[root at localhost floppy]# gpart /dev/hdb"), I got the response "bash: 
gpart: command not found" ...

Presumably I'm not being very clever somewhere ...

:-(
