Hi, Because I can't get sysinstall to set up my second SCSI drive, I'm going to attempt to make a disktab entry for it, and do a disklabel+newfs by hand. I'm running a 2.2-SNAP, the last one issued. But sysinstall insists on trying to make a root partition, and insists on trying to install software. As a result, it wont write the partition information. So its a do it by hand job. I need a bit of help though. The actual disklabel shows (I got it that far) ----------------------------------------------- # /dev/rsd1c: type: SCSI disk: sd1s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 16 tracks/cylinder: 51 sectors/cylinder: 816 cylinders: 5036 sectors/unit: 4110000 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 4110000 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 5036*) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to split it into 2 partitions, e and f. Half the disk each. If someone has a disktab entry already for a Compaq SCSI, this size, I'd really like to hear from you. Or anyone with some experience in this area. cheers Robert -- Support Whirled Peas. Business in China?
