A pretty simple question, I think, but I am confused with the disklabel
subject. I have an IDE hard disk with three slices on it (msdos, linux and
FreeBSD). fdisk output reads so:
******* Working on device /dev/rwd0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=525 heads=64 sectors/track=63 (4032 blks/cyl)
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=525 heads=64 sectors/track=63 (4032 blks/cyl)
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
start 63, size 1056321 (515 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 261/ sector 63/ head 63
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 131,(Linux filesystem)
start 1620864, size 491904 (240 Meg), flag 80
beg: cyl 402/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 523/ sector 63/ head 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 1056384, size 564480 (275 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 262/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 401/ sector 63/ head 63
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
I wanna get rid of the Linux slice and create a second slice for FreeBSD. The
questions are?
1) Is this possible?
2) If so, is needed to use disklabel for anything? Or I must simply use fdisk
to delete the Linux slice and create a new FreeBSD slice, and newsf then? Any
caveat to keep in mind?
Er, BTW, FreeBSD version is 2.2-960326SNAP.
TIA!
