Hi !
Had some problems in the company with that special boot disk.
Everything runs fine until newfs'ing the root partition:
Debug <10>
Progress <newfs /dev/rsd0a>
With a block size of 16384 minimum bytes per inode is 5957
Minimum Bytes per inode is 5957
With 16065 sectors per cylinder, minimum cylinders per group is 32
This requires block size to be changed from 8192 to 16384
and the fragment size to be changed from 1024 to 4096.
AHA 2940, Bios 1.11, Enhanced sector translation enabled
Harddisk: Fujitsu M 2694 ES-512
Pentium P60, 32 MB Ram, Asus mainboard.
Newfs terminates with an error code, and nothing more happens.
An idea ? No newfs ... no FreeBSD :( But perhaps you have an idea :-)
BTW:First 500 MB DOS, Rest FreeBSD (about 548 MB).
Thanks for help...
