Hi
I have installed an additional disk in a PC running NetBSD to use as
a caching area as I am CERN httpd proxy server on this box. The
problem is that the disk has only a DOS partition and no NetBSD one.
I have looked at fdisk on suggestions from others but have not got
very far with this.
I would appreciate some help on how to remove (or change) the DOS
and create a NetBSD one. It is a SEAGATE 520MB SCSI disk and is
being recognized by the kernel on boot up.
Thanks in advance for your help.
