Date: 25 Feb 1996 15:12:34 -0700 Organization: ABWAM, Inc., full service ISP, voice: 1+ 303 730-6050 Lines: 20 Message-ID: <4gqmsi$clo@stout.entertain.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: stout.entertain.com Hi folks. I an running FreeBSD 2.1R with an Adaptec 2940 controller. I am trying to get my Syquest 135MB drive in a usable state, and have been reading through the fdisk and disklabel man pages, but to no avail! :( My syquest drive shows up as the following in dmesg: (ahc0:5:0): "SyQuest EZ135S 1_13" type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd1(ahc0:5:0): Direct-Access 128MB (262144 512 byte sectors) I have a cartridge in which was previously formatted via DOS 6.22 and the Syquest format utility. The 1st partition takes up all of the disk. How do I format this drive for unix? I'd like to create a partition like sd1h to take up the whole drive. Any pointers (especially literal commands) appreciated.
