A few basic questios:
1) Does FreeBSD kernel supports EIDE drives ??? - i've been useing this
system for two moth and hove problem with labeloing a new 1.2G HDD.
2) Is the easier way to fdisk/disklabel/newfs a new HD?? What kind od util
does the install disk use ??? Is it avbailable in the system.
/stand/sysinstall began to install binaries on my wd0 after i choosed wd1 in
instalation options.
3) This is my disk geometry:
green# fdisk /dev/rwd1
******* Working on device /dev/rwd1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=2484 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 0, size 2503872 (1222 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0;
end: cyl 435/ sector 63/ head 15
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
Could anyone show what the /etc/disktab entry should look like to have one
big BSD partition on the disk ??? I've tried to construct it by myself byt
it did not work.
