With fdisk I first try to create a single slice using the entire disk (I am using /stand/sysinstall). It claims to have the following geometry: DISK Geometry: 963 cyls/8 heads/32 sectors = 246528 sectors I write the changes, and it appears to be successful (Wrote FDISK partition information out successfully.) Next I use the disk label editor (again through /stand/sysinstall) to create a new partition using all 246528 blocks, and I choose File System as its type. As its mount point I put /ls120 (an empty directory). I then select W to write my changes and now I get a new error: Error mounting /dev/wfd0s1e on /ls120 : No such file or directory Immediately before that the following flashes by: newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/wfd0s1e I did and ls /dev/wf* and the only two entries are wfd0 and wfd0s1. What am I doing wrong? What should the exact steps be? -jack > Hm, that's odd, if what you typed is *EXACTLY* what was displayed then > /dev/wfd0s1e is corrupted. > > Try doing > > cd /dev > ./MAKEDEV wfd0s1 > > Then try remounting the disc.
