I hung the disk on the sister system, and here's what fdisk reports: ******* Working on device /dev/da3 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=1496 heads=142 sectors/track=42 (5964 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=1496 heads=142 sectors/track=42 (5964 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 0, size 8925000 (4357 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 555/ sector 42/ head 141 The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 4 is: <UNUSED> I thought if it was DD, it wouldn't have the 4 partition entries... Is this right? I'm dumping the disks partitions to files on the system it's hung off of now, and can re-fdisk, re-label, newfs everything, and restore, but I'd hate to do that if its not the problem...
