First, I selected the CD_boot. Unix starts and show my configuration sd0 for the internal SCSI hard-disk, sd1 first external harddisk, sd2 second external harddisk cd0 cdrom ... I selected 'cd0' for root. Because I'm installing the BSD the first time, I have selected 'Installation from scratch' After checking, the system give my the choice : sd1 where I had prepared 4 partitions for Unix. (UX0: for root,UX1: for swap,UX2: for usr,UX3: for local) I continued the installation by selecting the sd1 drive to format and mount the root partition. After that, the installation programm asked me to choose the 'usr' partition in a list of partitions. Disklabel show me 7 partitions on sd1: # type a: 4.2BSD configured for the swap partition d: 4.2BSD configured for the usr partition e: 4.2BSD configured for the local partition f: unused configured in for MAC g: ADOS h: ADOS k: ADOS I enterred : d but the programm answered : shift: can't shift that many d isn't a valid ... What is wrong ?? How can I format and mount by hand the /usr partition ? Thanks for any reply. Dominique Strigl - Alcatel Business Systems - strigl@sxb.bsf.alcatel.fr
