Is there some rule that says there can only be one FreeBSD partition
on a disk drive?
Here's the story. This machine on which I type is a 166 MHz
Pentium, with 32 MB of RAM and an Adaptec on-the-motherboard SCSI
controller. Its single hard drive is a 4GB Segate. The boot dmesg
output is attached if you want further details. It's running
FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE, CVSup'd and built in July.
It has been set up to dual-boot NT workstation and FreeBSD. But the
dual booting proved to be too much hassle, so I obtained a second
machine, loaded Win95 on it and left this one in BSD. Lately, I've
been getting short on disk space in the BSD world (doesn't
everyone?) and decided to poach some of the NT space.
The disk had been set with FDISK partitions like this:
1 500MB type 6 dos (FAT, NT C: drive)
2 1.5GB type 5 dos (NTFS, NT D: drive)
3 2.0GB type 165 FreeBSD
4 unused
I ran "fdisk -2 -u sd0", and changed the partition type from 5 to
165. When I attempted to reboot, BootEazy offered me
F1 dos
F2 BSD
F3 BSD
but F3 refuses to boot. When I hit F3, or allow the timeout to take
that as a default, the cursor moves down one line and to the left
margin and then the machine hangs. I can CTL-ALT-DEL back around to
the BootEazy prompt. F2 also does not boot (I didn't expect it to,
but wondered if the partitions got reordered somehow in BootEazy's
mind). F1 =does= boot NT.
If I boot the 2.2.8-RELEASE live filesystem CD, and drop into fixit
mode, I can set the type on partition 2 to 0, and I can boot again.
Partition 2 disappears from the BootEazy menu.
If we get past this, then I'll be asking why disklabel doesn't seem
willing to work against sd0s2c.
