Is it my imagination or lack of attention, or a problem? It appears that if I disklabel a drive on a PC, the label will not be visible on an Alpha? Why do that? Linux fdisk (on the alpha) is a bit broken, so I thought to disklabel on a PC and move the disks. No cigar. So, either this is the case, or the two are so incompatible that they write/read totally different areas on the disk. BTW, Linux thinks that there is partition 4 on the disks. fdisk on the FreeBSD-i386 side confirms that. Yes, I followed the handbook guide and wiped out the first megabyte of /dev/da16, then disklable -Br, etc. No cigar. -- Sincerely, Simon Shapiro Research Fellow ShapiroS@MindSpring.com MindSpring Enterprises, Inc. 404.815.0770 ext. 2057 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
