Subject:   help installing 4G Seagate Barracuda
Message-ID:  <m0uABiD-000F2RC@mail.airmail.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Hi,

I am still having trouble installing my 2nd drive. I have
FreeBSD 2.1 -stable (as of last week) installed on a 1G IDE.

I am trying to add a 4G Seagate Barracuda st15150n as extra
drive space. My 1G IDE is dying, so I hope to copy most of
its contents to the Barracuda until I get a raplacement for
it (hopefully a 2G Barracuda, since the 4G Barracuda is only 
temporary).

Here is the drive info for the Barracuda:
-cylinders: 3712
-heads: 21
-sectors: 7,812,500
-tracks: 77,931
-bytes/sector: 512

Here is the error I get when I try to do 
  disklabel -R sd0 /etc/label.sd0

line 22: bad partition name

I think it is looking for the "a" partition, when I am trying
to specify the entire drive by using the "c" partition. I may
be doing this part wrong.

Below is my /etc/label.sd0, which I got by 
  typing:  disklabel sd0 > /etc/label.sd0 
and editing the file:
I am trying to install this, but it is not being accepted
because of the partition name problem.

Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
