Arbaugh" To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Making boot floppies with latest SNAP? Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to make a boot floppy with the latest SNAP (0322) and I get the following error from newfs: newfs -c 80 -b 4096 -f 512 -i 9000 -m 0 -o space -T fd1440 /dev/rfd0 Warning: calculated sectors per cylinder (4096) disagrees with disk label (36) Block size and bytes per inode restrict cylinders per group to 6. (NOTE: This happens with or without EVIL_FLOPPY defined) I've tried other values for the cylinders/group but it leaves unused space which is needed (obviously). Any ideas on what the need magic is? I'm doing this in order to debug an installation problem. On two of my machines (laptop and a desktop), both get an "INVALID FORMAT" error when trying to load the kernel. Both ran NetBSD fine...until yesterday :-). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Arbaugh email: waa@aurora.cis.upenn.edu office: Moore 102 phone: (215) 573-3639 FAX: (215) 573-2232 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
