Hmm... I hung the disk on the sister system, and here's what fdisk
reports:
******* Working on device /dev/da3 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1496 heads=142 sectors/track=42 (5964 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1496 heads=142 sectors/track=42 (5964 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 0, size 8925000 (4357 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 555/ sector 42/ head 141
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
I thought if it was DD, it wouldn't have the 4 partition entries...
Is this right?
I'm dumping the disks partitions to files on the system it's hung off
of now, and can re-fdisk, re-label, newfs everything, and restore, but
I'd hate to do that if its not the problem...
Thanks,
Mike
