Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org After finally getting the multia booted, I find I cannot make filesystems on a disk. I don't do slices and do a da1a(1000MB) and da1b(250M/Swap). It cannot enable swap on on da1b and when it tries to make filesystems, I get 'returned error code 1'. I tried the two most recent snaps under ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/snapshots/alpha and got the same results. It's been an annoying afternoon because none of the 4 choices for syscons is entirely usable, and a ^P (have to use ^N at least because the arror keys don't work) drops one back to the SRM prompt irretrievably. What am I doing wrong? I can't use da0 (335 MB disk). To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
