Message-ID: <michaelv.711618204@help.cc.iastate.edu> Keywords: 386BSD 0.1 2nd Hard Drive Sender: news@news.iastate.edu (USENET News System) Organization: Iowa State University, Ames IA Date: Mon, 20 Jul 1992 07:43:24 GMT Lines: 20 I saw someone else post a similar question about this already without any real response. I've installed 386BSD very nicely on the 40MB drive in my machine (the bindist stuff). What I had in mind, however, was to make my 2nd hard drive (an 80MB Seagate ST4096) into another filesystem that would hold the etcdist and srcdist. But I can't get the stupid thing to work! Both are connected to a 1:1 MFM Western Digital hard drive controller. Every time I try to touch wd1 in any way with the disklabel program, it locks the machine up tighter than a drum. Remote telnets (which worked before I locked it) won't even let me in to shut the machine down gracefully--it's major frozen. What's the deal??? The wd1* dev entries would imply to me that this should be supported. How do I make it work? Thanks for all the help you can give. --Michael -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael L.
