Today i've installed a new 20GB hard drive on my FreeBSD Box.
On the 20 Gb, i took 10Gb to test Linux and the install went fine.
Under BSD The disk is recognized at boot :
% /sbin/dmesg
(...)
ad0: 1222MB <QUANTUM FIREBALL1280A> [2484/16/63] at ata0-master using WDMA2
ad1: 2445MB <QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM2550A> [4969/16/63] at ata0-slave using WDMA2
ata1-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable
ad2: 19458MB <ST320420A> [39535/16/63] at ata1-master using WDMA2
acd0: CDROM <ATAPI CDROM> at ata1-slave using PIO4
(...)
fdisk works on it :
% /sbin/fdisk /dev/ad2
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=39535 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=39535 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 131,(Linux filesystem)
start 63, size 19530945 (9536 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 15
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 130,(Linux swap or Solaris x86)
start 19531008, size 249984 (122 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 15;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 15
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
disklabel says :
type: unknown
disk: amnesiac
label: fictitious
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 16
sectors/cylinder: 1008
cylinders: 39535
sectors/unit: 39851760
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: 39851760 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0-39535*)
But, when i try to use /stand/sysinstall and choose 'Configure'
(post-install configuration), then 'Label' or 'Fdisk', both fails with
a message pretending that no disks are found.... (that seems curious
that even ad1 and ad2 are not found as they are currently mounted).
What could be the problem ?
