Hoping to be able to do a disklabel -B again, I just built a kernel with
N O_GEOM. However, I ran into an interesting problem with 'fdisk' when
trying to debug my other "Boot error" problems that boot1 is giving me.
edgemaster# fdisk ad1
Floating exception (core dumped)
In get_params, we have:
=2E..
780 error =3D ioctl(fd, DIOCGFWSECTORS, &u);
781 if (error =3D=3D 0)
782 sectors =3D dos_sectors =3D u;
783 error =3D ioctl(fd, DIOCGFWHEADS, &u);
784 if (error =3D=3D 0)
785 heads =3D dos_heads =3D u;
786
787 dos_cylsecs =3D cylsecs =3D heads * sectors;
788 disksecs =3D cyls * heads * sectors;
=2E..
794 error =3D ioctl(fd, DIOCGMEDIASIZE, &o);
795 if (error =3D=3D 0) {
796 disksecs =3D o / u;
797 cyls =3D dos_cyls =3D o / (u * dos_heads * dos_sect=
ors);
798 }
=2E..
What happens if the ioctls in lines 780 and/or 783 fail? When we get to
line 797, we're snagged with division by zero.
I shall demonstrate:

I think I might just get out a small magnet and fix my booting problems
manually.
