I see this a few times in the archives but no cure. Recycling an "old" Dell P-II 300 for firewall use. Initially created a single FreeBSD slice on the 6G drive and installed 4.4-RELEASE. Changed my mind, booted the CDROM again, wiped that installation to create a 64M type-6 partition at the start (place to keep BIOS updaters and such insanity, disk is cheap), then the rest is FreeBSD. Typed "64m" for the slice size but later saw it was listed as 62. "Uh, OK, if you say so." But seems like a bigger difference than I've seen before on other machines. Well, everything else is working but in dmesg(1) this appears, suggesting my first slice isn't sane: ad0: 6149MB <Maxtor 86480D6> [13328/15/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 acd0: CDROM <NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:28B> at ata1-master using PIO4 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s2a ad0s1: raw partition size != slice size ad0s1: start 63, end 128519, size 128457 ad0s1c: start 63, end 12594959, size 12594897 ad0s1: truncating raw partition ad0s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice ad0s1: start 63, end 128519, size 128457 ad0s1a: start 63, end 204862, size 204800 ad0s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice ad0s1b: start 204863, end 474718, size 269856 ad0s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice ad0s1e: start 474719, end 736862, size 262144 ad0s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice ad0s1f: start 736863, end 12594959, size 11858097 System isn't in production use yet so if I must, it can be blanked again. What to do? Go ahead and format.exe with DOS? Should I have used FDISK.EXE to create the first partition then sysinstall for the next? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
