Date: 6 Mar 1996 02:35:32 -0500 Organization: Open World Lines: 19 Message-ID: <4hjf84$sej@heathers.stdio.com> X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I got a 2.1 release system with: 2 IDE disks. 1 AIC 6860 (soundblaster scsi) with CDROM. 1 AHA 2940 with sd0= 1.7 GB microp, sd1= 9.0 GB Seagate I do "fdisk /dev/sd1" and create any partition. I do "disklabel -w /dev/sd1 sea9gb" and it locks up. The console will SCREAM with messages I can't read. Forever. ping works. telnet works (connects) but never gives a login. Same for all interactive services, they never do anything other than connect. I remember this coming up once before, but some people had it working. Can anyone help? Risner
