Well, I finally figured out what was wrong with 'install'. It was
causing my machine to lock up right after asking if I wanted to install
on the entire drive.
It turned out that disklabel was the culprit. So
I did a 'disklabel wd0' to get the old (bogus) label. I then copied
the drive information and created a real disklabel:
7213|maxtor7213at|Maxtor 7213 210MB IDE:\
:dt=ESDI:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#16:ns#38:nc#683:\
:pa#18848:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:ta=4.2BSD:\
:pb#32832:ob#18848:tb=swap:\
:pc#415264:oc#0:\
:pd#415264:od#0:\
:ph#363584:oh#51680:bh#4096:fh#512:th=4.2BSD:
and did the following:
# disklabel -wr wd0 7213
and all is well now!
On to the installation process...
