While installing FBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE from the walnut Creek CDROMs onto my
new hd, I noticed some problems inside the installation process. Since
those are completely unrelated, I'll post a few messages. Apologies for the
inconvenience.
Relevant Hardware (from probing during first successful boot):
One device on SCSI:
ncr0 <ncr 53c810a fast10 scsi> rev 17 int a irq 11 on pci0:4
(ncr0:1:0): "PHILIPS PCA80SC V3-0" type 5 removeable SCSI 2 CD-ROM drive:
cd0: CD-ROM, asynchronous
Two IDE controllers with one hard disk each:
wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <QUANTUM FIREBALL640A>
wd0: 612MB (1253952 sectors), 1244 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc1 at 0x170-0x17f irq 15 on isa
wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <ST32122A>
wd2: 2014MB (4124736 sectors), 4092 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
disklabel /dev/wd2 shows:
type: unknown
disk:
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track; 63
tracks/cylinder: 192
sectors/cylinder: 12096
cylinders: 341
sectors/unit: 4124736
rpm: 3600:
interleave: 1
all others 0.
3 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
c: 4124736 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 340)
-------
Ummm, why's there only one partition shown?
-------
disklable /dev/wd2s1 shows instead:
disk: wd2s1
label:
flags:
nytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 255
sectors/cylinder: 16065
cylinders: 256
sectors/unit: 4124736
rmp: 3600
interleave: 1
all others 0.
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 65535 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4*)
b: 151456 65535 swap # (Cyl. 4*- 13*)
c: 4124736 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0*- 256*)
=====>> ^^^^^^ what? Unused space on my precious new HD? <<=====
e: 61440 216992 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 13*- 17*)
f: 3846304 278432 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 17*- 256*)
-------
Anyhow, I guess partition c: is just another name for the whole HD.
During installation of wd2 (which is a little bit bigger than 2GB), I got
the warning:
"Warning: 3936 sector in last cylinder unallocated (2.2.5)"
Why?
Please apologize if I asked a FAQ: I already posted FBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE does
not include Lynx in CD-ROM 1, so I am not able to read the CD-ROM doc right
now.
Thanks for your help
