I have decided to kill my Win95 partition and take it over with FreeBSD.
The problem is, is that I am having no end of troubles trying to disklabel
it...
Here is the fdisk info... I have a working Freebsd slice on partition 1 and
I am trying to take over partition 2... It seems to be OK in terms of
having the correct ID now...
sand# fdisk
******* Working on device /dev/rwd0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=826 heads=64 sectors/track=63 (4032 blks/cyl)
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=826 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 84609 (41 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 20/ sector 63/ head 63
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 84672, size 2044224 (998 Meg), flag 80
beg: cyl 21/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 527/ sector 63/ head 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 2128896, size 1197504 (584 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 528/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 824/ sector 63/ head 63
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
Disklable shows
sand# disklabel wd0s2
# /dev/rwd0c:
type: ESDI
disk: wd0s2
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 64
sectors/cylinder: 4032
cylinders: 507
sectors/unit: 2044224
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]
a: 81920 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 20*)
b: 98304 143360 swap # (Cyl. 35*- 59*)
c: 2044224 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 506)
e: 61440 81920 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 20*- 35*)
f: 1802560 241664 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 59*- 506*)
I have tried following the steps outlined in the faq, but I end up with
sand# disklabel wd0s3
disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument
sand# disklabel -r /dev/rwd0s3
Bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)
What am I doing wrong ? The drive is an IDE Segate 1.6 meg'r.... Can
someone point me to the necessary steps to fix it?
Thanks,
---Mike
