I'm trying to fdisk a wd disk which stems from pre-2.0 (pre slicing) times
in a running system. The disk presently looks like this:
******* Working on device /dev/wd2 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1023 heads=160 sectors/track=63 (10080 blks/cyl)
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1023 heads=160 sectors/track=63 (10080 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 245889 (120 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 243/ sector 63/ head 15
The data for partition 1 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 245952, size 811440 (396 Meg), flag 80
beg: cyl 244/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 159
I want to delete all partitions and create one for FreeBSD only.
This is the geometry:
wd2: 516MB (1057392 sectors), 1049 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
Now what would be the correct fdisk settings to make this a 2.2 conformant
disk?
