Odd. That's worked for me on FreeBSD-4.11, 6.1, 7.2, and 8.1 (both > i386 and amd64). I "zeroed" the thumb drive as you suggested, but got the same result from `echo "p 2 0x0c * *" | fdisk -f - /dev/da0` as before. BTW, that wiping of the thumb drive took over 14 hours! I should have thought to specify a large block size. > What's the output of: > uname -spr FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE i386 > Also, after completing the dd(1) command, what's the output of: > fdisk -p /dev/da5 > > It should look something like this: > > # /dev/da5 > g c31 h64 s32 > p 1 0x17 1 64259 > a 1 Here's a sequence of events, after dd'ing the Druid iso: tripel# fdisk -p /dev/da0 # /dev/da0 g c1945 h255 s63 p 1 0x17 1 64259 a 1 tripel# echo "p 2 0x0c * *" | fdisk -f - /dev/da0 ******* Working on device /dev/da0 ******* fdisk: Class not found tripel# fdisk -p /dev/da0 # /dev/da0 g c1945 h255 s63 p 1 0x17 1 64259 a 1 p 2 0x0c 64260 31182165 Does this mean the second fdisk succeeded, despite what looked like an error? > Something you might also want to try is zapping the disk (wiping all > contents) prior to trying again: > > dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da5 -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging </> ]
