Ok lads, last try to get a reply on this one. If no one knows the answer, has anyone an idea of wheer/who i can ask about it? i am having similiar problems as "sdjayna" <sdjayna@hotmail.com> (Problems Installing FreeBSD on Slave Harddisk). I've been trying to add a new drive with no luck whatsoever. here's what i've tried: i followed the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/disks-adding.html) both using sysinstall and 'manually'. I also tried booting slackware floppy and use fdisk from there but everytime i've made it a bsd partition it has been corrupted. It was windwos on the drive when i bought it so i know it's working and i've also succeded makeing it ext2... Here's how it looks now, with ext2fs: jmo# fdisk ad3 ******* Working on device /dev/ad3 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=788 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=788 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 131,(Linux filesystem) start 63, size 12659157 (6181 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 787/ sector 63/ head 254 The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 4 is: <UNUSED> And when i try to make it bsd: jmo# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rad3 bs=1k count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1024 bytes transferred in 0.000889 secs (1151775 bytes/sec) jmo# fdisk -BI ad3 ******* Working on device /dev/ad3 ******* fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found jmo# fdisk ad3 ******* Working on device /dev/ad3 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=13410 heads=15 sectors/track=63 (945 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=13410 heads=15 sectors/track=63 (945 blks/cyl) fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 4 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 12672387 (6187 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 97/ sector 63/ head 14 dmesg output: ad0: 19092MB <ST320413A> [38792/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 ad3: 6187MB <FUJITSU MPB3064ATU> [13410/15/63] at ata0-slave UDMA33 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
