Date: Sat, 03 Feb 1996 05:21:45 -0500 Message-Id: <54.823342905@mumps.pfcs.com> From: Harlan Stenn Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Well, I *thought* I was following the directions... I added the drive to the system (sd1 seems just fine), booted the system, and did an "fdisk -i /dev/rsd1" (from FreeBSD). I took the default geometry (4926 cyl, 26 hd, 133 s/t), UNUSED partitions 0, 1, and 2, and then did a "disklabel -e -r sd1". Disklabel doesn't work - it says the disk is a read-only device (not as far as I can tell). I tried the fdisk again, and this time the original head and sector/track values both showed up as 1! I tried to reset them, but the changes don't "stick". Any suggestions on how I can get this beast working would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to turn the drive into two equal-sized partitions. Just in case, here's the output from dmesg and fdisk: FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE #0: Sun Sep 3 05:11:10 EDT 1995 supfcs@brown.pfcs.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU) real memory = 16384000 (4000 pages) avail memory = 14794752 (3612 pages) Probing for devices on the ISA bus: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> ed0 not found at 0x280 ed1 at 0x300-0x31f irq 5 on isa ed1: address 00:40:33:2a:df:5c, type NE2000 (16 bit) bpf: ed1 attached sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A sio2 not found at 0x3e8 sio3 not found at 0x2e8 lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lp0: TCP/IP capable interface lpt1 not found at 0xffffffff lpt2 not found at 0xffffffff fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fdc0: NEC 72065B fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in wdc0 not found at 0x1f0 wdc1 not found at 0x170 bt0 not found at 0x330 uha0 not found at 0x330 ahc1 not found ahb0: reading board settings, int=11 ahb0 at 0x3000-0x30ff irq 11 on eisa slot 3 ahb0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ahb0:0:0): "TOSHIBA MK537FB/ 6258" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahb0:0:0): Direct-Access 1015MB (2079838 512 byte sectors) (ahb0:3:0): "SEAGATE SX410800N 7102" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ahb0:3:0): Direct-Access 8347MB (17096357 512 byte sectors) (ahb0:5:0): "ARCHIVE Python 28388-XXX 4.98" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ahb0:5:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x13, drive empty (ahb0:6:0): "TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3501TA 3384" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ahb0:6:0): CD-ROM cd0(ahb0:6:0): NOT READY asc:3a,0 Medium not present can't get the size aha0 not found at 0x330 aic0 not found at 0x340 nca0 not found at 0x1f88 nca1 not found at 0x350 sea0 not found wt0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed1 at 0x300 mcd0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed1 at 0x300 mcd1: timeout getting status mcd1 not found at 0x340 matcd0 not found at 0xffffffff scd0 not found at 0x230 ie0 not found at 0x360 ep0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed1 at 0x300 ix0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed1 at 0x300 le0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed1 at 0x300 lnc0 not found at 0x280 lnc1 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed1 at 0x300 ze0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed1 at 0x300 zp0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed1 at 0x300 npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface Probing for devices on the pci0 bus: configuration mode 1 allows 32 devices. changing root device to sd0a bpf: lo0 attached bpf: sl0 attached bpf: tun0 attached sd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice sd0: start 1335296, end 2079837, size 744542 sd0d: start 0, end 2079837, size 2079838 sd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice sd0h: start 32, end 614399, size 614368 sd1: cannot find label (no disk label) and... ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=4926 heads=1 sectors/track=1 (1 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=4926 heads=1 sectors/track=1 (1 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: The data for partition 1 is: The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 1, size 17034107 (8317 Meg), flag 80 beg: cyl 0/ sector 2/ head 0; end: cyl 830/ sector 1/ head 0 TIA...
