Drive 1 is a Seagate ST1102A 80MB IDE wholly devoted to 386BSD. Drive 2 is a Seagate ST157A 40MB IDE with 3 `DOS' partitions: 33M DOS [ I use Winiboot to select DOS/Minix ] 3M Minix 7M Unused What I am trying to do: I want to install a 386BSD partition on drive 2 in the unused third partition. Then I will swap drives 1 & 2 over and use the 40M drive for DOS, Minix and 386BSD /, and the 80M drive as /usr and swap. Bug: [ When I say partition I mean `DOS' partition ] With partition 3 marked as 00 (unused), I can read from /dev/rwd1d and do disklabel -r wd1. I get the information from the first absolute sector of drive 2 in this case. With partition 3 marked as A5 (386BSD), doing anything with rwd1d, or disklabel -r wd1, the whole system hangs. The terminal driver seems to still be working, as characters such as ^V still work. The system must be reset at this stage. Other information: Here is my DOS partition table from the 2nd drive, uuencoded. Also the information in it as reported by Minix's fdisk. Also included is my disklabels for the two drives. The ST1102A has been written to drive 1, and I have yet been unable to write the ST157A label on drive 2 (see above). table !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>? @ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_ begin 644 partitio MN CL".T+P ?+C !X[8@,J B!9& ;X +\ !KD ?SRI;OT .@? ;Z^ ;,!z ML" Z'KT!=0*P*N@: ;\* +$!B-CH'@%3OQ L02S"/RLZ!$!_LMU][\* +$*y MLP+$!(UT!(S"Z !_LMU\KM# >C7 %O^PX#[!':UN^P Z,D N CL"[#@$Fx MBPYL!+0!S19U%87;=/8F.PYL!'3O2W7GH+T!_LCK#;0 S1:[ L,3P$<]A0w M!#'HFP"[0P'HB !8M!#VY+Z^!P'&G Z[ 'Q3N CL"X 0(FBG0!)HI, B:*v M; .*%D8!)O\N3 *0F]O=#H@ %=I;FE";V]T('8Q+C @3F]V(#$Y.#D-"@H@u M("!";V]T($AD(%-E8R!#>6P@5'EP92!(9"!396,@0WEL(" @(" @0F%S92 @t M(" @(%-I>F4-"@ B@=#A,!T!>@# .OTPU974[L! +0.S1!;7U[#,.0QTE93s M4>@$ %E;7L-0B= QTO?WB<98]_=2B?*)Q@G6= ?^R>CF_^L+_LE^![ @Z+__r MZ_58/ EV @0G!##HL?_# * 0$ q M!@:1-Q$ #W!P$ "!.($&D6D(" $ /A< @6JE!I#<1A\!
